Somerset Village Academy

Q: Is Somerset Village Academy a good school?

Somerset Village Academy ranks 970 th of 2256 Florida elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 3 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Somerset Village Academy is a public charter elementary school serving 242 students in grades K-5 in Wilton Manors, Florida, which is part of the Broward County school district, ranked 30th out of 68 districts in the state. The school has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger and a student population that is predominantly African American (49.59%) and Hispanic (45.45%), which is significantly higher than the surrounding schools.

Despite the school's relatively high spending of $10,438 per student, Somerset Village Academy has consistently underperformed compared to the Broward County and Florida averages on standardized tests. The school's 5th-grade science proficiency rate of 65% is a bright spot, exceeding the Broward (52%) and Florida (53%) averages, but the school struggles with high chronic absenteeism rates of 28.7%, which is significantly higher than nearby schools like Floranada Elementary. The school's very high percentage of students (92.56%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch also suggests the need for targeted interventions and support.

While the data highlights the challenges faced by Somerset Village Academy, it also suggests opportunities for improvement. The school's strong performance in 5th-grade science and its relatively high spending per student indicate that with the right strategies and support, the school could potentially address its chronic absenteeism, improve academic outcomes, and work to address any systemic inequities that may be contributing to the performance gaps between Somerset Village Academy and its higher-performing neighbors.

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.
