Nahant

Nahant, Massachusetts is served by a single public school in this dataset: Johnson, an elementary school covering grades PK–6 with 163 students. There are no middle, high, or alternative schools listed for the area, so Nahant district results are identical to Johnson's results. With only one school, there is no within-district comparison to make — Johnson is the entire public-school picture here.

Academically, Johnson is solid and improving. In 2025–2026, all-grade results were 43.24% proficient in English Language Arts (state: 40.03%), 43.24% in math (state: 41.11%), and 52% in science (state: 40.98%). That marks a turnaround from 2024–2025, when ELA was 40.63% and math 35.94%, both below state averages; math posted the biggest one-year gain at +7.30 points while the state barely moved. Science has been the most consistent strength, beating the state by double digits two years running. Within the school, 6th grade stands out sharply in 2025–2026 — 84.62% in ELA and 76.92% in math, versus state figures of 40.26% and 42.59% — while 3rd grade is the clear weak spot at 28.57% in ELA and 23.81% in math, both far below state.

Families should weigh those numbers against the school's small size: with 163 students, grade-level percentages rest on tiny cohorts, so one or two students can shift results by several points and year-to-year swings are expected. Johnson's rank history reflects that volatility, moving from the 64th percentile in 2023–2024 to 39th in 2024–2025 and back up to 54th in 2025–2026. Class sizes are moderate, with a 14.4 student-teacher ratio in 2024–2025, and spending was $17,623 per student in 2020–2021. Free/reduced-lunch data is not available, so the economic context of the student body is unknown.
