Summary:

Zip code 99111 in Colfax, Washington, is served by two public schools within the highly-rated Colfax School District: an elementary school for grades K-6 and a combined junior-senior high school for grades 7-12, together educating 533 students.

For families, Leonard M Jennings Elementary stands out as a consistent top performer, earning 4-star ratings and significantly exceeding state averages in all subjects, especially math where over 76% of students are proficient. In contrast, Colfax High School shows more varied academic results, with strengths in its 90% graduation rate and 11th-grade science but with overall test proficiency much closer to the state average and notably lower than the elementary school, particularly in mathematics.

The analysis reveals a notable performance gap as students progress, with the elementary school's strong foundation not fully carrying into higher grades, especially evident in 8th-grade science. Both schools serve a similar community with moderate economic need, and the high school spends more per student. Parents should note the district's high overall ranking and the elementary school's exceptional results, while recognizing that the high school maintains a strong graduation rate despite more average standardized test scores.
