Nahant

The Nahant school district consists of a single public elementary school, the Johnson Elementary School, which serves grades PK-5 and has an enrollment of 155 students.

The Johnson Elementary School maintains higher proficiency rates than the state average in both English Language Arts (51.92% vs. 39.17%) and Mathematics (50% vs. 40.91%) for all grades. The school's performance has been relatively consistent, with 3-4 star ratings from SchoolDigger over the past few years, though its statewide ranking has declined from 247th out of 932 schools in 2021-2022 to 328th out of 916 schools in 2023-2024. The school's higher per-student spending of $17,623 and lower student-teacher ratio of 14.4 indicate that it has access to significant resources, which may contribute to its academic success.

While the Johnson Elementary School is a well-resourced and academically successful school within the Nahant community, its declining statewide ranking over the past few years suggests there may be opportunities for improvement, particularly in maintaining or improving its academic outcomes relative to other schools in the state.
