Schools in Zip Code 01908

ZIP code 01908 is Nahant, Massachusetts, and it contains exactly one public school: Johnson Elementary, a PK–6 school at 290 Castle Road with 163 students. There are no middle, high, or alternative schools in this ZIP code, so families here move on to other schools after grade 6. The school belongs to the Nahant district, which is ranked 192 of 351 districts statewide (45th percentile, 2 stars). The student-teacher ratio is 14.4, and per-student spending is $17,623. Free/reduced lunch data is not available for 2024–2025, so equity comparisons cannot be made from this record.

Academically, Johnson scored above the state average in all three tested subjects in 2025–2026: ELA 43.24% vs. 40.03%, math 43.24% vs. 41.11%, and science 52% vs. 40.98%. Science is the most consistent strength, beating the state by roughly 11–12 points in both 2024–2025 and 2025–2026. Grade 6 was the standout in 2025–2026, with 84.62% in ELA and 76.92% in math, far above state averages. Grade 3 is the clear weak spot, at 28.57% in ELA and 23.81% in math, both below state. With only 163 students, grade-level groups are small, so a handful of students can shift these percentages substantially.

Math showed the most meaningful improvement, rising from 35.94% (below state) in 2024–2025 to 43.24% (above state) in 2025–2026 — a gain of 7.30 points while the state average rose only 0.37 points. ELA also improved slightly. The school's rank moved from 39th percentile in 2024–2025 to 54th in 2025–2026, a rebound but still below its 64th percentile in 2023–2024. Because Nahant has only one school, district and school results are identical, and the district's 2-star/45th percentile rating versus the school's 2025–2026 3-star/54th percentile rating use different ranking systems and dates, so they should be read separately.
