7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI go to Colfax High school right now and i'm constantly bullied because my parent's divorce and the hardships my mom has endured because of it. I've told a few of my teachers and they just tell me that it'll pass. I have good grades but honestly the homework given is a joke. I've met kids from Ankeny who are way ahead of us. The school is very cliquey, and if you don't fit it overall, you probably won't fit in the town either.Student Review9y ago
