Original Research by School Decision on Somerset Academy Sunset High School
Somerset Academy Sunset High School, a charter school located on Sunset Drive in Miami, is listed in school records as closed. Because the school is no longer operating, this account is necessarily limited, and families searching for an active enrollment option should confirm current status directly with Somerset Academy or Miami-Dade County Public Schools before acting on any information here.
The school's grade-band designation in federal records shows only a single middle-school grade marker, which is unusual for a school named as a high school. That inconsistency likely reflects incomplete or transitional data at the time the school closed, and no conclusions about the program it offered can be drawn from it alone.
Academic performance data, enrollment figures, demographic information, staffing, and program offerings are all absent from the available records. Some of those gaps are almost certainly a consequence of closure: once a school stops operating, state and federal data systems stop collecting and reporting on it. A parent should not read the missing test scores or graduation figures as evidence of weak performance; there is simply no reportable data for a closed school.
The physical address sits within a part of Miami where home values run well above both the Florida and national medians, and rents have been climbing. That cost context matters for any family considering the broader Miami-Dade area, independent of this school's status.
Miami-Dade County Public Schools, the district in which this charter was authorized, is navigating a period of real turbulence. Publicly reported enrollment has fallen sharply, and the district proposed closing or consolidating several schools heading into the coming school year, reshaping grade structures and attendance boundaries in all three of its regions. A tax referendum approved by voters a few years ago raised property taxes to fund teacher pay and school safety, with that higher rate set to expire unless renewed. Separately, state legislation is moving toward a stricter cellphone policy that would apply across all schools in Florida by the end of next year.
For any family whose interest was specifically in Somerset Academy's charter network, the Somerset Academy organization operates other campuses in South Florida, and those would be worth investigating directly for current availability and program details.
