MWCS is a PK (pre-kindergarten)- 12th grade school. It is divided into two sections, the elementary being split by a fourth lobby in the center of it. The HS lobby is next to the HS cafeteria (looks a bit like a greenhouse) and the elementary has a huge skylight. The third lobby is next to the auditorium.
Pre-K, JK, and Kindergarten constitute the pre-school. 1st-5th grades are the elementary school. 6th-8th grades are middle school, and 9th-12th is high school. Of note, the High School has been well established since 1959; however, the elementary Schools of Madrid and Waddington only merged in 1991. There are several events a year, including numerous dances and assemblies. The district includes parts of Canton, Chase Mills, Madrid, parts of Lisbon and Potsdam, and Waddington.
