The Maxwell Public Schools district in Nebraska operates two schools: Maxwell High School and Maxwell Elementary School.

However, it still ranks 167th out of 215 high schools statewide.

Both schools have high chronic absenteeism rates, which could be a contributing factor to their overall performance.
