MACCRAY High School

What MACCRAY High School does

MACCRAY High School is one of three schools (alongside MACCRAY Middle School and MACCRAY Elementary) operated by MACCRAY Public Schools, Independent School District #2180, a political subdivision of the State of Minnesota formed through consolidation of the Maynard, Clara City, and Raymond school districts. The district serves K-12 students and preschool-age children (ages 3-5) across three small rural communities along the Highway 23 corridor in West Central Minnesota (Chippewa, Renville, and Kandiyohi Counties), and operates a comprehensive educational portfolio that includes core K-12 academics with 26 Career and Technical Education courses, a 12:1 student-to-educator ratio, and a four-day school week schedule. Supporting service modules include special education (Birth-21), Title I, English Language Learner programming, athletics and student activities under MSHSL governance, free universal meals, the MAC-Pac weekend food program, transportation via Palmer Bus Service, health services, and Community Education & Recreation programming.

The underlying technology stack is composed of mainstream educational platforms rather than proprietary systems: Infinite Campus as the student information system, Finalsite for the district website, a Blackboard-powered mobile app for parent/student communication, RevTrak for fee payments, GoBound for activity registration, Hudl for athletic streaming, Google Workspace for productivity, and an Apple-based 1:1 device program aligned to ISTE Standards. No AI/ML capabilities, proprietary models, or data flywheels are disclosed.

The revenue model is characteristic of a public school district: per-pupil state aid tied to Average Daily Membership, voter-approved local property tax levies, federal grants (Title I, IDEA), supplemented by fee-based preschool tuition ($160-$320/month), activity/athletic fees processed through RevTrak, and Community Education registrations. The district employs approximately 137 staff across all locations and is governed by a seven-member elected school board. Distribution occurs through direct enrollment at the Clara City district office, Minnesota open enrollment, online registration platforms, and community outreach, with outcomes (92% five-year graduation rate vs. 83% state average; 73% of graduates earning college credit via concurrent enrollment with SMSU and Ridgewater College) serving as the primary demand-generation signal for prospective families.

Scale indicators6 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Instructure (Canvas): Major K-12 and higher-ed learning management system provider. Operates broadly across the same K-12 ecosystem MACCRAY serves, supplying the technology infrastructure layer many comparable districts rely on.
• PowerSchool: Largest K-12 student information system and ed-tech provider in North America. While MACCRAY uses Infinite Campus rather than PowerSchool, PowerSchool serves as the broad incumbent benchmark for K-12 education technology platforms serving similar small and mid-sized districts.

Emerging players

• Stride, Inc. Online K-12 education provider (formerly K12 Inc.) serving students across multiple states. Competes for open-enrollment students who might otherwise attend brick-and-mortar districts like MACCRAY, particularly in rural areas with limited local options.
• KIPP Foundation: National charter management organization operating K-12 schools. Provides an alternative governance and outcomes-driven operating model that competes for the same college-ready student outcomes MACCRAY markets to families.

Others

• Infinite Campus: Student information system vendor used by MACCRAY (and many other small Minnesota districts). Functions as a technology infrastructure peer/enabler rather than a direct competitor, but operates in the same K-12 operational ecosystem.

Direct peers

• Benson Public Schools: Small rural Minnesota public school district in West Central Minnesota. Comparable size, similar revenue model, and overlapping athletic/conference footprint with MACCRAY under MSHSL.
• Minnewaska Area Schools: Small rural Minnesota public school district of similar scale serving the Glenwood area in West Central Minnesota. Comparable K-12 academic, CTE, and activity programming funded through per-pupil state aid and property tax levies.
• ACGC Public Schools: Consolidated rural Minnesota public school district serving Atwater-Cosmos-Grove City. Operates a comparable small-district K-12 model with similar revenue mix (state aid, local levies) and community-funded enrichment programs.
• Montevideo Public Schools: Minnesota River Valley public school district operating K-12 schools including a high school of comparable size. Similar consolidated structure, four-day/similar-week scheduling debates, and reliance on state aid and local levies.
• Lac qui Parle Valley Schools: Consolidated rural Minnesota district serving Madison and Dawson communities. Operates a comparable small-district K-12 model with similar budget scale, community engagement approach, and Minnesota per-pupil funding dependency.
