Colfax Elementary School

I think that Colfax is a really good school. I have seen a big improvement in the school's atmosphere in the past six years and as a result, the students are more successful and are happy to be here. The teachers are very good as well and are willing to work extra hours for the success of our children. I have seen that in the past couple of years, teachers and staff members are bringing their own children to attend school here which makes me want to send my own. I feel that if they are bringing their own children to this school, something good must be happening here!!!!

I disagree about the bullying, I have witnessed firsthand how quickly the principal and staff work to keep the children safe at all levels and how quickly they respond to unaceptable behavior. The principal and staff at Colfax are amazingly patient and truly caring when it comes to all aspects of the students education and behavior. My grandchildren have been enrolled at Colfax for the pat 4 years and I have seen nothing but cooperation, caring, communication and community involvement while they have been enrolled here. The key is to stay involved in your childs education, know who his/her friends are make yourself available to the teachers to volunteer as their task is not an easy one. Kudos to all staff and administration!

this school is horrible the bully tolerance is a joke my son was bullied for 2 years and now again this year they were going to put him in the same class again also the principal is a joke no communication between faculty and parents only a hand full of good teachers i would not recommend this school to anybody just stay away!!!!!

My son is a kindergarten student in Ms. Toni's class. He adores this school! Under the genuinely caring and supportive guidance of his teacher and her staff. he has quickly learned to read, does basic math, and has developed an overall love of learning. Colfax teachers and staff are down to earth, go out of their way to help you, and offer many wonderful services such as afterschool programs, Spanish immersion classrooms, free breakfast and lunch, and academic tutoring. I highly recommend Colfax's kindergarten program!!

To start off colfax is a great elementary school. The level of commitment from the teachers is unbellivable. The staff there is amazing. The staff and the teachers have always found it neccessary to involve our kids with any and all activities as possible. The quallity of academics their is great due to the fact that the teachers spend so much time with the kids teaching them, and helping them learn in a way that is easy for them and fun too. Colfax Elementary also has a wide variety of extracurricular activites that go beyound the everyday routine for school. A few of these activities include after school programs, band, billingual classes and the list goes on. Finally to say the least, the parent invlolvment at Colfax is unbellivable. No matter what the parents at Colfax Elementary always find time to participate in our childrens future.
