Within Williams County it serves Ray, Epping, Springbrook, and Wildrose.[2] A small section is in Divide County.[3]

Prior to the 2021 disestablishment of the New School District 8 (later the Williams County School District 8), some students from that district went to Ray Public School for high school.[4]

History

edit

In 2000 Heidi Heitkamp, the Attorney General of North Dakota, stated that the district violated the North Dakota Open Meetings Act by closing a meeting to the public.[5]

Circa 2017 the district had received a rapid enrollment grant.[6]
