Nursery Independent School District is a public school district based in the community of Nursery, Texas (USA).

The district has one school - Nursery Elementary - that serves students in grades kindergarten through five.

Middle and high school students attend the neighboring districts of Cuero ISD ^[2] and Victoria ISD.

History

Circa 1983 there was a legal case that explored whether a Victoria County commissioner was right in giving assistance to Nursery ISD. ^[3]

In 2003 the students had Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills (TAKS) benchmark test scores above the state average. ^[4]

In 2009, the school district was rated "recognized" by the Texas Education Agency. ^[5]

Suzanne Bell, who was both principal and superintendent, stated in 2013 that having fewer benchmark tests helped students normalize testing versus seeing it as stressful. ^[6]
