The way I see it, $\mathbb{R}[x]/(x^3)$ is ring whose elements are equivalence classes, which in their reduced form are of the form $ax^2+bx+c$ where $a,b,c\in\mathbb{R}$. I can see that $([x])$ ($[x]$ denotes the equivalence class of $x$ modulo $x^3$) and $([x^2])$ are ideals and my guess is that these are maximal. However, I cannot prove it (maybe we can find a field which is isomorphic to $(\mathbb{R}[x]/(x^3))/([x])$, but I cannot understand this nested quotient ring). Are there any other ideas I am missing?
Edit: grammatic correction
