Summary

Thomas V Nash is a K-5 public school in Weymouth, MA, serving 263 students within the Weymouth Public School District. This school presents a fascinating paradox: it is a standout in Mathematics, consistently outperforming both its district and the state average, yet it struggles significantly in English Language Arts (ELA) and Science. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, 50.43% of Nash students were proficient in Math, compared to just 37.41% district-wide, but only 36.52% were proficient in ELA, which is well below the district average of 43.86%. This 13.91-point gap between Math and ELA proficiency is the largest in the entire Weymouth district, making it a school of strong contrasts.

Interestingly, the school shows remarkable effectiveness with its Low Socio-Economic Status (SES) students, who ranked in the 61st percentile statewide—significantly higher than the school’s overall rank. This suggests that support systems are particularly strong for students facing economic disadvantages. However, performance with Special Education students is volatile, swinging from the 3rd percentile one year to the 67th percentile the next, indicating that program effectiveness may depend heavily on the specific cohort. Nearby schools like Lawrence W Pingree offer a stark contrast, with a much smaller Math-ELA gap (3.15 points) and a 60.42% proficiency in Science—a 22.5-point advantage over Nash.

While Nash has maintained a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger for seven consecutive years, its overall state rank has slowly declined from 380th to 446th over the past three years. The school spends $17,551 per student, higher than many district peers like Academy Avenue ($14,681), yet its student-teacher ratio of 14.8 is also higher than most, suggesting that higher spending may not be translating into smaller class sizes. For parents, Thomas V Nash offers a strong foundation in math and effective support for low-income students, but the persistent underperformance in ELA and Science, combined with a volatile special education program, are important factors to consider when comparing it to more balanced options like Thomas W. Hamilton Primary School, which consistently ranks in the top 260 statewide.

The best example that you cannot believe any "official" ratings. We moved to Weymouth last year, and at the beginning were assigned to some different school, which is rated as "the best in Weymouth" (just because we speak different language at home). So, we were invited to attend introductory session at the "best rated school", and later, suddenly (!), informed that our kid's English exam results are too good & we must bring our child to the primary school in our district (Thomas V. Nash). What immediately did catch my eye was the classroom - it is much bigger and equipped as a minimized Science Museum (huge difference comparing with what I saw in "the best school" - that one was much smaller and looked like a regular daycare). Finally, the location and floor plan of the building was much more spacious and logical. As our kid now has been attending the full day Kindergarten for a while, I have many observations of how wonderful is her teacher. Mrs. Linda Casserly is a diamond and a real treasure!!!! Words are unable to describe how awesome she is. Very intelligent and beautiful woman, who knows how to motive the kids to learn, to do their homework and have fun researching & studying. We shared that with our friends who raised their kids in the towns, which usually are known as having the "elite schools". All of the friends kept repeating that we are unbelievably lucky, no one had teacher like this in the kindergarten many of them and very often are complaining that their kids starting from the Kindergarten hate homework and studying anything new, etc. I do believe that is true because I know the children. We are very grateful for this wonderful gift in our lives. Mrs.Casserly is not the kind of teacher that just gives the information and fulfills your child like a dish she is a kind of teacher that lights up your child from inside and motivates to learn. How she does that is just mysterious. My kid calls her WONDERFUL and it is totally true!!!! Close Quote
