Original Research by School Decision on Somerset Delta Academy
Somerset Delta Academy was a charter school located on Sunset Drive in Miami, Florida, serving middle grades. The school is now closed, which is the most important fact for any family researching it.
Because the school is no longer operating, nearly all of the data fields that would normally inform a parent's decision are absent. Enrollment, student demographics, free and reduced-price lunch participation, academic performance, staffing, and discipline data were not available, and the closure status is the likely reason rather than a gap in reporting. State assessment results, graduation rates, and program offerings do not apply here, both because the school no longer operates and because a middle-grades-only school would not carry a graduation rate in any case.
What remains relevant is the broader context a family would encounter if they were drawn to this address or this part of Miami. The zip code where Somerset Delta Academy sat carries home values that are well above both the Florida and national benchmarks, placing it among Miami's more expensive residential areas. Rents in the area consume a substantial share of a typical household's income relative to national norms. Prices have continued to inch upward year over year even as the statewide market has softened. For families weighing a move to this part of Miami, the housing cost picture is a real constraint.
The district Somerset Delta Academy belonged to, Miami-Dade County Public Schools, is itself in an active period of change. Publicly reported figures show enrollment has been falling district-wide, and in spring 2026 the district proposed closing or consolidating up to nine schools, with boundary changes and new grade configurations potentially affecting which school a child attends. Families settling anywhere in Miami-Dade right now should treat school assignments as subject to revision. A property-tax referendum approved in 2022 raised the school levy to fund teacher pay and campus safety; that higher rate is set to expire in 2027 unless voters renew it, which matters to homeowners calculating carrying costs.
Miami itself is a dense, differentiated city. The Sunset Drive corridor sits near South Miami, a neighborhood with a different texture than downtown or Brickell, though the city's elevated Metrorail line connects this part of the county to the broader urban core. Government, health care, and tourism anchor the regional economy, with large institutions like Miami-Dade County itself, Baptist Health South Florida, Jackson Health System, and the University of Miami among the area's major employers.
For a family specifically looking for a middle school option in this part of Miami, Somerset Delta Academy is no longer a live choice, and a parent would need to look directly to Miami-Dade County Public Schools for current zoned and charter options, keeping in mind that boundary changes are actively under discussion.
