Somerset Academy Wellington High School

Q: Is Somerset Academy Wellington High School a good school?

Somerset Academy Wellington High School ranks 554 th of 807 Florida high schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 2 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Somerset Academy Wellington High School is a small public charter high school in Wellington, Florida, serving grades 9-12 with a student population of just 40 students. As part of the Palm Beach school district, which is ranked 41 out of 68 districts in Florida and rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger, the school faces some unique challenges.

Compared to nearby high schools like John I. Leonard High School, Seminole Ridge Community High School, and Wellington High School, Somerset Academy Wellington High School has a more diverse student population but generally lower academic performance. Its students scored 39% proficient in Algebra 1, 31% in Geometry, and 36% in 10th grade English Language Arts, compared to district averages of 58%, 51%, and 54% respectively. The school also has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 28.3%, significantly higher than the district average of 25.1% at John I. Leonard High School.

Despite spending $14,566 per student, which is higher than the spending at some larger nearby public high schools, Somerset Academy Wellington High School does not seem to be translating that investment into better academic outcomes for its students. The school's small size and higher proportion of students from low-income families (55% receive free or reduced-price lunch) may contribute to the challenges it faces in providing a high-quality education. While the low student-teacher ratio of 9.2 suggests the potential for more individualized attention, the school's performance indicates it still has work to do in engaging and supporting its students effectively.

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.
