Colfax High

This school is a part of Placer Union High School District

Placer Union High School District is a high-performing academic organization anchored by destination schools like Del Oro and Colfax High, maintaining a top-tier reputation for athletics and college readiness. Despite its academic 'Blue Chip' qualities, the district is currently rated as a 4 due to emerging financial headwinds, including a multi-year $3.8 million operating deficit and declining enrollment trends that have forced staff freezes and program consolidations. While operational health remains stable for now, the district must manage its fiscal contraction and maintain community transparency regarding school safety and arts funding to avoid further slippage into a transitional state.
