Original Research by School Decision on Somerset Academy Kendall
Somerset Academy Kendall is a charter elementary school in the Kendall area of Miami, serving kindergarten through fifth grade. The enrollment is small relative to what you might expect for a full K-5 school, and notably the fifth grade had no enrolled students in the most recent data, with the largest cohorts concentrated in the early grades. The student body is predominantly Hispanic, reflecting the character of the surrounding southwest Miami-Dade community, with small shares of white students and very few students of other backgrounds.
On academic performance, the school shows genuine strength at the grades where state testing data are available. On Florida's FAST assessments, third- and fourth-graders posted proficiency rates in both math and ELA that are well above what you would typically see across Florida schools, with fourth-grade math results especially strong. For an elementary charter school, those numbers represent a meaningful signal, not just a floor-clearing. Science data comes from the 2020-21 school year only, and the results from that year were quite low for fifth grade, though the tested group was very small, which can make a single year's result unreliable. More recent science data was not available in this dataset, so parents who care about science preparation at the fifth-grade level may want to ask the school directly about current outcomes and curriculum in that strand.
Free and reduced-price lunch data, IEP rates, and English learner counts were not reported in the available data, so the economic and special-populations picture of the student body is incomplete here. No graduation rate applies, as the school does not serve high school grades.
The comparison framework for this school sits within Miami-Dade County's district universe, and the proficiency index comparison was flagged as not applicable because the county peer group was too small for a reliable ranking. That means the state-level results above are the clearest benchmarks available.
On housing, the zip code surrounding the school sits in a market priced well above both the Florida and national medians, and recent values have been essentially flat year-over-year. Rents are also high relative to income, with rent consuming a substantial share of median household income. Families relocating to be near this school should expect a competitive, expensive housing market in southwest Miami-Dade, though the area's residential character differs from the dense downtown core; Kendall is a more suburban part of Miami-Dade with lower walkability than inner neighborhoods.
The parent district, Miami-Dade County Public Schools, carries a few developments worth knowing. Voters approved a property tax increase that runs through 2027, intended to fund teacher pay and school safety, and that cost is baked into homeowner expenses in the area unless voters renew or discontinue it. More practically, the district is experiencing sharp enrollment decline and has proposed closing or consolidating up to nine schools, with boundary and grade-structure changes possible across all regions. As a charter school, Somerset Academy Kendall operates somewhat independently of those boundary decisions, but the broader district context -- including which neighboring traditional public schools remain open -- may matter to families weighing options. On cell phones, Miami-Dade initially took an education-over-restriction approach while state law moved toward a stricter policy; the practical rules in any given school year may shift as that statewide policy develops.
Program offerings were not available in this dataset, so details about enrichment, arts, athletics, or any specialized academic tracks the school may provide are not something this profile can address. Families should request that information directly from the school.
