Summary:

The Colfax-Mingo Community School District in Iowa operates two schools: Colfax-Mingo Elementary School and Colfax-Mingo Junior/Senior High School. While the district as a whole has room for improvement, the elementary school appears to be the stronger performer of the two, with higher test scores, improved statewide ranking, and lower chronic absenteeism rates.

Colfax-Mingo Elementary School stands out for its relatively high test scores, particularly in 3rd-5th grade math and 4th grade ELA, as well as its improved statewide ranking over the past few years. In contrast, Colfax-Mingo Junior/Senior High School has stronger performance in 8th grade ELA and a commendable graduation rate of 88.3%, but its test scores lag behind the elementary school, especially in math.

The Colfax-Mingo Community School District as a whole is ranked 227 out of 313 districts in Iowa and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating room for improvement. Addressing the chronic absenteeism issue and improving test scores across both schools could be priorities for the district to better serve its students.
