Colfax-Mingo Elementary School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past three years, going from 217th out of 574 Iowa elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 336th out of 557 in 2023-2024, though it maintains a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Both schools perform below the state average in ISASP (Iowa Statewide Assessment of Student Progress) tests, with the exception of a few grade levels. The schools have a relatively high percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients, indicating a lower socioeconomic status of the student population. While the student-teacher ratios are relatively low, this does not seem to translate into better academic performance for the schools. Overall, the data suggests that the Colfax-Mingo Community School District faces challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students, and further investigation and potential interventions may be needed to improve student outcomes.
