Colfax Township S/D #1F

Colfax Township School District #1F is an active, traditional public school district located at 1509 N. Van Dyke Road in Bad Axe, Michigan. Set within a remote rural community, this single-facility district provides a close-knit academic environment dedicated to early childhood and intermediate education. The district operates independently, serving students from kindergarten through eighth grade. Designed to foster foundational learning and personal development through the middle school years, it offers a neighborhood-centered alternative to larger regional systems before students transition to high school facilities outside the district.

During the 2024–2025 academic year, the district maintained an intimate learning community of 20 total students, balanced evenly with 10 female and 10 male learners across its K–8 classrooms. To support this micro-school environment, the district employs approximately 7.24 full-time equivalent (FTE) staff members, including roughly 2.08 FTE teachers, 2.38 instructional aides, and nearly 3 support staff positions. This robust educator-to-student presence allows for highly tailored, individual instruction, making Colfax Township S/D #1F an ideal setting for families prioritizing personalized care and a unique case study for researchers interested in the dynamics of modern rural public education.
