Orient-Macksburg Community School District (O-M) is a public school district headquartered in Orient, Iowa.
The district, which serves Orient and Macksburg, occupies portions of Adair, Madison, Adams, and Union counties in the southwest of the state.
It is the result of the consolidation of schools in the communities of Orient and Macksburg, which occurred in fall 1960. All grades pre-kindergarten through 12th are housed in one facility in Orient; the elementary portion was built in 1979. Another elementary addition, built through spring 1998, was funded by a bond approved by voters in March 1997. The school's mascot is the Bulldog.
As of June 11, 2024, the School Board had voted to dissolve the school district. Reasons cited were low enrollment, staffing issues, and financial shortfalls.
