MAX 50

Located at 2855 Highway 83 NW in Max, North Dakota, the Max 50 Public School District serves as an essential educational anchor for its surrounding rural community. Operating as an open, traditional public school district across two active facilities, Max 50 offers a continuous academic pathway spanning from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade. For parents, students, and researchers examining local education, the district exemplifies the strengths of a small-town learning environment, combining early childhood programs with a complete secondary education under a unified, community-focused administrative structure.

The district supports an intimate student body of 135 learners, composed of 67 female and 68 male students across all grade levels. To serve this vibrant population, Max 50 maintains a robust workforce totaling more than 66 full-time equivalent (FTE) staff members. This includes approximately 37.5 FTE classroom teachers, supported by nearly 3 instructional aides and 26 support staff members. This exceptional staffing allocation creates a remarkably low student-to-teacher ratio, allowing educators to provide highly individualized instruction, foster strong interpersonal mentorship, and cultivate an inclusive school culture where every student is known and supported.
