Summary:
The 01908 zip code in Massachusetts has only one elementary school, the Johnson Elementary School, which serves grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 149 students. While the school has some positive attributes, such as a relatively low student-teacher ratio, its overall performance and ranking within the Nahant school district are not particularly strong.
The Johnson Elementary School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, dropping from 288 out of 928 Massachusetts elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 555 out of 906 in 2024-2025. Its star rating has also decreased from 3 to 2 stars during this period. Academically, the school's performance, as measured by MCAS Next Generation test scores, is generally below the state average in both English Language Arts and Mathematics across all grade levels, though it exceeds the state average in Science.
Despite the school's higher-than-average per-student spending of $17,623 for the 2020-2021 school year, this does not appear to be translating into stronger academic outcomes. The school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.6 to 1 is a positive indicator, but the underlying factors contributing to the school's declining performance over time warrant further investigation, such as changes in leadership, curriculum, or student demographics.
