Summary:
The Colfax-Mingo Community School District has one elementary school, Colfax-Mingo Elementary School, which serves grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 391 students. While the school has some strengths, such as strong performance in 4th and 6th grade English Language Arts and Mathematics, it also faces areas for improvement, particularly in 5th grade Science proficiency.
Colfax-Mingo Elementary School's test scores vary across grade levels and subjects. The school performed above the state average in 4th grade English Language Arts (78.4% vs. 72.9%) and 6th grade English Language Arts (90.9% vs. 74.5%), but underperformed the state average in 5th grade Science (44.9% vs. 59.6%). Additionally, the school's statewide ranking has declined over the past three years, from 217th out of 574 Iowa elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 336th out of 557 in 2023-2024, suggesting it may be struggling to keep pace with improvements in other schools across the state.
With 40.41% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, Colfax-Mingo Elementary School may face additional challenges in supporting the academic and social-emotional needs of its student population. Addressing the school's low proficiency rate in 5th grade Science and implementing targeted interventions and resources could help the school better serve its students and improve its overall performance.
