Your latitude = the elevation of Polaris. So, at 50 degrees latitude, Polaris is 50 degrees above the northern horizon, assuming you're in the northern hemisphere.

You did not say 50 Degrees North or South. 50 Degrees South and you can not see Polaris.
50 Degrees North and Polaris is 50 degrees above Your Horizon.
