The Raymond community has always placed a high priority on a high quality education, made better in a small town setting. Raymond is home to MACCRAY East Elementary, which hosts classes from pre-school and kindergarten through 6th Grade. Junior High and High School-aged students attend MACCRAY High School in Clara City, just 7 miles west of Raymond on Highway 23.

The MACCRAY School District is blessed with dedicated, top-notch teachers and staff that strive to improve the educational experience MACCRAY students receive. Unlike larger schools, our students grow with one-to-one attention where teachers and students know each other by name. In 2008, MACCRAY will become the first district in the state of Minnesota to implement the innovative four-day school week. MACCRAY provides a great education for kids!
