Summary:
There is one public high school in the Colfax School District in Wisconsin: Colfax High. It serves grades 7–12 with 318 students, so it works as a combined middle and high school for the Colfax area. Because it is the only high school in the district, its school and district test scores are identical.
Colfax High has taken a clear step up. The district is ranked 239 of 432 (45th percentile, 2 stars), and the school improved from 376 of 431 (13th percentile, 1 star) in 2024–2025 to 284 of 533 (47th percentile, 2 stars) in 2025–2026. Across the 10 reported tests, the school's average proficiency rose from 51.17 to 58.27, while the state average moved only from 51.11 to 51.84. The brightest spot is 8th grade: Social Studies at 80.95% (state 64.63%), Mathematics at 76.19% (state 53.67%), English Language Arts at 71.43% (state 54.38%), and Science at 71.43% (state 51.86%) — all well above state. Completion results are also strong: a 97.0% graduation rate (state 92.0%) and a 0.6% dropout rate (state 1.1%).
Areas to watch include ACT Mathematics at 34.69% (state 42.93%) and ACT Science at 40.82% (state 43.20%), though both climbed sharply year over year. Seventh-grade ELA fell from 73.33 to 53.33 and is now slightly below the state's 55.33, while 7th-grade Mathematics sits at 57.78% versus 55.67% state. Tenth-grade Social Studies rose from 35.71 to 47.06 but remains just under the state's 48.25. Chronic absenteeism is 17.1%, close to the state's 17.3% but above the district's 13.2%. For context, the school has a 12.8:1 student-teacher ratio, 31.13% free/reduced lunch, and $14,911 per-student spending.
