Summary:
The Colfax-Mingo Community School District in Iowa has one high school, Colfax-Mingo Junior/Senior High School, which serves grades 7-12. The school's performance is below average compared to other high schools in the state, ranking 273 out of 340 Iowa high schools for the 2024-2025 school year and receiving a 1 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger.
Colfax-Mingo Junior/Senior High School has a 88.3% four-year graduation rate, which is slightly below the state average. The school also has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 21.6%. Academically, the school's test scores in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are generally below the state averages, with some exceptions, such as the 8th grade ELA proficiency rate being significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, 41.21% of the school's students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage.
Despite these challenges, the school has some potential strengths, including a low 12:1 student-teacher ratio and slightly higher spending per student of $13,707 compared to the state average. However, these factors alone do not necessarily translate to better academic outcomes, and the school's overall performance suggests there is room for improvement in providing a more consistent and high-quality education across all grade levels and subjects, as well as addressing the high chronic absenteeism rate.
