We are rooted in education and we reach for the stars!
Who We Are
We have an incredibly dedicated faculty and staff to provide students a quality well-rounded program that is rooted in a rigorous curriculum and enriched with P.E., garden, farm, music, theater, technology, visual arts, and for students in grades 3-5, orchestra.
I'd like to extend a warm Colfax Charter Elementary welcome to both our returning and new students and their families. We are looking forward to an outstanding year as staff and parents work together to create a positive learning environment and strive to meet the unique needs of each child.
Colfax was built in 1950 on what was once a 10-acre arboretum. The trees that remain on the campus today are symbolic of our history and they create an idyllic school setting that embodies the school's motto "Rooted in Education and Reaching for the Stars."
In 2022, Colfax was one of only two LAUSD elementary schools to earn the honor of National Blue Ribbon School from the U.S. Department of Education which is a testament to our extraordinary teachers and staff.
Parents are a driving force at Colfax. They actively participate in numerous ways that directly impact student achievement. Parents serve on our important School Councils, volunteer in the classrooms, and raise funds to provide enrichment for all students.
