As someone working at Somerset as a teacher and principal for 15 years, I can attest to our organization's sound track record of academic success. For the 2012-2013 school year, Mr. Anthony Marucci and I are excited to be moving from Somerset Academy Miramar to Somerset Village K-8 to be the new administrative team. I see great potential in Somerset Village, and with the input and support of all stakeholders, look forward to building a school in which our city, county and community can take pride. A few things to look forward to include a technology-rich facility with a 1 to 1 student-computer ratio, Promethean Boards in every classroom and a brand-new, state of art media center with two additional computer labs. Instructionally, we have some phenomenally talented teachers and leadership support staff who've joined our team, and we have new software programs and materials for academic intervention and acceleration to meet each student's needs. I encourage youn to call our school and schedule an appointment to see how Somerset Village can be an excellent choice for your child. --Ms. Sadesky, Principal

The administration at this school leave me wanting to remove my child and I will at the end of the year. The principal talks up the school but there is no action where her mouth is. There are some improvements to the infrastructure: new a/c units, lap tops, security cameras but its all for show. Organized chaos everywhere! Low student achievement. Many of the teachers are mediocre. Poor nutrition in the horrible choices on the lunch menu almost everyday. Though the principal says it won't be tolerated you see students wearing those disgusting sagging pants. No discipline at all. The clubs are a joke. More baby sitting than learning going on. I could go on but why bother. Think twice before you choose this school. Very disappointing... :(

This school is failing horribly in many respects. There are no extracurricular activities for the students. The school was completely unprepared to take on a middle school. Teacher turnover is very high. Most classes have over 25 students for 1 teacher. Quality of education is extremely poor as well as any communication from the schools to parents. Facilities continue to deteriorate, as the building is use for other purposes and not just for teaching children. Do your research and speak to other parents before you consider this school!

Love it! Somerset is a great school! We attended 3 campuses and enjoyed them all. Great alternative to neighborhood school.

About the tests


In 2012-2013 Florida used the Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test (FCAT 2.0) to test students in grades 3 through 10 in reading, 3 through 8 in math, in grades 5 and 8 in science and writing in grades 4, 8 and 10. The FCAT 2.0 is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Florida. The FCAT 2.0 has 5 achievement levels, with level 1 being the lowest and level 5 the highest. Florida considers scores of level 3 and higher to be on or above grade level. The goal is for all students to score at or above level 3.

About the tests


Florida uses School Grades to measure the overall performance of a school each year on the Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test (FCAT). Each school is assigned a letter grade (A-F) based on three criteria: the overall performance on the FCAT, the percentage of eligible students who took the test, and whether or not students made progress in reading and math. The School Grades are calculated by adding points earned from each of the performance criteria listed above.
