Somerset Academy Collegiate, San Antonio TX

Original Research by School Decision on Somerset Academy Collegiate

Somerset Academy Collegiate is a public charter school serving pre-K through 12th grade in San Antonio. The school sits in a mid-sized city experiencing rapid population and housing growth, with strong demand for schools across income levels.

The school enrolls a student body that is predominantly Hispanic, with a substantial majority of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. The enrollment spans all grade levels from early childhood through high school, creating a campus that moves students across a full K-12 pathway.

On state testing, Somerset Academy Collegiate's results show a consistent pattern: foundational skills are weaker, middle grades show some recovery, and writing tends to exceed mathematics. In third grade, proficiency in English language arts exceeds proficiency in math. By fourth and fifth grade, both subjects dip sharply. Sixth grade shows modest improvement in both areas, with English language arts performing better. Seventh grade math drops significantly. By eighth grade, both subjects rebound notably, with English language arts reaching closer to half of students meeting the proficiency mark and science proficiency also landing in this range. In social studies at eighth grade, proficiency is quite low. A parent may want to look into this further with the school to understand the curriculum changes, staffing, or instructional approaches that correspond with these grade-to-grade shifts, especially the substantial dips in grades four through seven.

The school's overall proficiency index places it below the midpoint among districts in Bexar County. This positioning reflects that while the school is educating students across the full grade span, academic outcomes trail many peers in the county.

State testing data for high school grades (9-12) was not available. A parent seeking to understand the school's secondary academic performance would need to ask the school directly about course offerings, advanced placement availability, college readiness metrics, and transcript outcomes for recent graduates.

The school operates as a charter within the Somerset Academies of Texas system. On housing and community context, the school's zip code shows property values and rental costs both slightly below state benchmarks, positioning it in a working- and middle-income area of San Antonio. The city itself is among the fastest-growing U.S. metros, with construction activity concentrated on both affordable apartments and market-rate housing, suggesting demographic churn and families at various economic stages moving into and through the region.

No information was available on the school's specific programs, electives, career pathways, or staffing profile. A parent should visit the school's website or schedule a conversation to learn about class sizes, special education services, English learner supports, enrichment offerings, or any distinctive instructional models the charter operates under.

This schoolSOMERSET ACADEMIES OF TEXAS, same grade

Graduation rate (ACGR) reflects the federally published Adjusted Cohort Graduation Rate for the most recent year available. We refresh this data annually at the close of each academic year in June. The federal source publishes a banded rate (for example, "90-94%") instead of an exact number for cohorts small enough to risk identifying individual students. The state distribution chart, where shown, plots every school in the state with a published rate or band; schools whose rate is federally suppressed are excluded. Where the federal source publishes a band rather than an exact rate, the school is placed within its band using a stable, ID-derived offset, so its position is consistent across visits.
