GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Some of the teachers are absolutely amazing but the few that are complete pricks have absolutely no care or slight respect for their students. Teachers leave our school not because of the students but because of the other teachers and staff. This school only cares about athletes but if you're just an average kid trying to get through school, good luck. This schools only good if you do sports or if you're whole family tree has always lived in colfax.

Colfax High School is an amazing school in a tiny town. There are about 200 high schoolers at CHS. The fact that CHS is so small gives all of its students the ability to be involved in countless extracurricular activities and excel in their academics.

Colfax High was a great high school to grow up in. Bullying is scarce, the teachers really care about their students, and we learn a lot and have amazing opportunities. I made it through almost a full year of college courses through the offered College in the High School credits that I took advantage of. I learned a lot, not just about general education, but also about life in general.

I had two children attend Colfax schools. We moved here in the middle of their elementary years and we were pleased at how they were accepted into the school and by their peers. One child was challenged, the other not as much, but both went on to transition into college with little trouble. I would...

This school is a major part of this special town. As a parent with a student in the district I can say I am so thankful for Colfax High School. Small schools are great places and the more you invest into them the more you get out of it! Thankful to the teachers here who care about my son and have wo...

As a freshman who has been going to Colfax since Kindergarten I can say that I could not imagine a better school. Most of my educational career I had high marks but starting my 7th grade year I started to fall behind and my A's and B's turned to C's and D's all of my teachers (Especially Mrs.Landers...
