School Overview

Maxwell is a small agricultural town in Colusa County, the kind of place where everyone knows everyone and the school reflects that tight-knit community feel. Maxwell Middle serves a predominantly rural student population, and while its academic scores are still developing — particularly in science — families here tend to value the close relationships between students and teachers that a small school naturally fosters. For families rooted in the farming community or looking for a quieter, rural upbringing away from the bustle of Sacramento, this is a school where kids don't get lost in the crowd.
