Elementary Schools in Nahant

Nahant, Massachusetts is home to a single elementary school, the Johnson Elementary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 6th grade. While the school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking in recent years, dropping from 247th out of 932 Massachusetts elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 328th out of 916 in 2023-2024, its academic performance remains mixed. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (51.92%) and Mathematics (50%) are above the state averages, but its performance has declined in some grade levels compared to the previous year.

The Johnson Elementary School has a relatively small student population, with a student-teacher ratio of 14.4, which is slightly lower than the state average. The school's per-student spending for the 2020-2021 school year was $17,623, higher than the state average, suggesting that the district is investing resources in the school. However, it is unclear how these resources are being utilized and whether they are effectively translating into improved student outcomes.

One notable aspect of the Johnson Elementary School is its predominantly white student population, with 83.23% of students identifying as white. The school has a relatively small percentage of Hispanic students (10.32%) and students of two or more races (5.81%). While the data does not suggest any correlation between the school's racial makeup and its academic performance, exploring strategies to promote greater diversity and inclusion within the school community could be an area of focus for the district.
