According to its Web site:
Colfax is a diverse neighborhood elementary school located in Valley Village. The campus was once an arboretum and is surrounded by large trees that embody our school’s motto: Rooted in Education and Reaching for the Stars.
Colfax is rooted in education, rooted in the community and rooted in parent involvement. We are a community whose parents and staff reflect a caring concern for each other as well as for our wonderful students.
