Somerset Pines Academy

Q: Is Somerset Pines Academy a good school?

Somerset Pines Academy ranks 1005 th of 2256 Florida elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 3 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Somerset Pines Academy is a public charter elementary school serving 462 students in grades K-8 in Pompano Beach, Florida. The school is part of the Broward County school district, which is ranked 30th out of 68 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Somerset Pines Academy has a diverse student population with a higher percentage of Hispanic students (46.97%) compared to nearby schools, it consistently ranks in the bottom half of Florida elementary schools and performs below average on state assessments, with lower proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math across grade levels. The school has also experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 9.5% in 2018-2019 to 23.4% in 2022-2023, which is higher than the surrounding schools. Additionally, Somerset Pines Academy has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 71.43% to 80.49% over the past three school years, and its per-student spending is generally lower than the nearby schools.

Compared to the surrounding schools, such as Deerfield Park Elementary School, Robert C. Markham Elementary, and Park Ridge Elementary School, Somerset Pines Academy faces significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its diverse student population. Addressing the school's academic performance, chronic absenteeism, and resource allocation issues could be crucial in improving outcomes for the students at this school.

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.
