Summary:

The Colfax School District in Washington is a small, high-performing district consisting of just two schools—Leonard M Jennings Elementary (grades K-6) and Colfax High School (grades 7-12)—that share a centralized campus and together serve about 533 students.

Both schools are strong, consistently ranking in the top tiers statewide. Leonard M Jennings Elementary is a particular standout, with exceptional math and reading scores that are well above state averages, including a remarkable 90% proficiency in 3rd grade math. Colfax High School also performs well, boasting a 90% graduation rate and strong scores in 11th grade science and 10th grade English.

An interesting feature of the district is that it has no separate middle school, with 7th and 8th graders attending the high school. While the district excels overall, there are some performance dips in the 5th grade and in middle school science, which the district could address. Despite these areas, the Colfax School District delivers excellent academic results efficiently, serving as a strong model for rural education.
