Folsom High School shines
Kids in Prairie Oaks attend the Folsom-Cordova Unified School District, beginning at Sandra J. Gallardo Elementary School. Niche gives Gallardo Elementary an A grade and ranks it as the top public elementary school in Sacramento County. Next up is Sutter Middle School, which also has an A grade on Niche. Teens head to Folsom High School, which has a perfect A-plus Niche rating and holds events throughout the year to celebrate its students. “Folsom-Bration is a massive art show that takes over the library and people come from all over the neighborhood to see it,” says Harris. “I mean, I did art in high school, but we never had a show or anything like this, but these incredible events happen at Folsom High.”

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
