Somerset Preparatory Academy Charter School At North Lauder

Summary:

Somerset Preparatory Academy Charter School At North Lauderd is a public charter elementary school serving 726 students in grades K-8 in North Lauderdale, Florida, which is part of the Broward County school district.

Despite serving a high-poverty student population, with over 92% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, Somerset Preparatory Academy Charter School At North Lauderd has generally higher test scores compared to the Broward County and Florida state averages, particularly in Algebra 1, Civics, and 5th grade English Language Arts. The school's higher spending per student and smaller student-teacher ratio may be contributing factors to its relatively strong academic performance. However, the school has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 15.7% in 2018-2019 to 27.8% in 2022-2023, which is notably higher than the state average and many of the nearby schools, such as Tamarac Elementary School and Renaissance Charter School At University.

While Somerset Preparatory Academy Charter School At North Lauderd generally outperforms the nearby traditional public schools on test scores, particularly in math and science, its statewide ranking has declined over the years, from 1,378 out of 2,029 Florida elementary schools in 2012-2013 to 1,107 out of 2,256 in 2023-2024. This suggests that the school may be struggling to keep pace with improvements in other schools across the state, despite its relatively strong academic performance compared to the district and state averages.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
