Summary

Nursery Elementary is a small, high-performing public school in Victoria, TX, serving 156 students from pre-kindergarten through 6th grade as the sole school within the top-ranked Nursery Independent School District (Isd), which holds a 5-star rating and ranks in the 97th percentile statewide.

This school consistently achieves exceptional academic results, ranking in the 90th percentile of Texas elementary schools and earning a 5-star rating in the most recent year. Its performance dramatically outpaces most nearby schools in the Victoria Independent School District (Isd). For example, while Nursery Elementary posts a 6th-grade math proficiency rate of 83.33% (compared to the state average of 38.57%), nearby Shields Elementary has a 5th-grade math proficiency rate of just 14.29%. The closest comparable schools are Mission Valley Elementary (89th percentile, 4 stars) and Vickers Elementary (71st percentile, 4 stars), while many other area schools like Crain Elementary and Rowland Elementary rank in the bottom 20-40% of the state.

A key advantage of Nursery Elementary is its low student-to-teacher ratio of 13:1, which fosters a personalized learning environment that is rare in the region—nearby schools like Martin De Leon Elementary serve over 500 students with higher ratios. The school serves a student population where 37% are economically disadvantaged, yet it maintains top-tier results across all subjects. While science scores are strong (66.67% proficiency vs. 29.57% statewide), they represent a potential growth area compared to the school's dominant reading and math performance. Overall, Nursery Elementary offers a standout, small-school alternative to the larger, lower-performing schools in the neighboring district.
