πŸ”Š Listen Β· narrated by Aiden

The Nisqually School District (NTPS) serves 15,000 students across 13 elementary schools, four middle schools, and three comprehensive high schools. The district also operates four choice schools, including a virtual school, home-based instruction support, a performing arts middle school, and a career and technical education-focused high school.

NTPS provides full-day kindergarten at all elementary schools, Transition to Kindergarten programs at select schools, and four preschool locations. The district offers 100+ dual-credit classes for high school students to earn college credit simultaneously. Over 1,000 students participate in the Multilingual Learners program, representing more than 50 home languages. The district also operates a Dual Language Program at three elementary schools and one middle school.

The district's Board of Directors received a 2025 Board of Distinction award from the Washington State School Directors Association. Through a 2020 voter-approved bond, NTPS remodeled Komachin Middle School, River Ridge High School, and the Raj Manhas Activity Center (RMAC) South to maintain modern, safe facilities.
