Summary:
This analysis covers the single elementary school, Colfax Elementary, serving grades K-8 for 345 students within the Colfax Elementary district.
Parents should know that Colfax Elementary faces significant academic challenges, with student proficiency in English, math, and science consistently below California state averages. The school's statewide ranking has also declined notably over the past two years. However, there are pockets of relative strength, particularly in middle school grades where 6th and 8th graders perform closer to state averages in English Language Arts.
Key areas for families to consider include a chronic absenteeism rate higher than the state average and a sharp decline in math scores between 3rd and 5th grades. On resources, the school spends over $16,000 per student and has a student-teacher ratio of about 19 to 1. The data suggests the school is navigating complex challenges but has foundations, like its middle school English performance, that could support targeted improvement efforts.
