GreatSchools Rating
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.

I love my high school and it has a very good atmosphere. Everyon eat the school is very nice and it is easy to make friends. The staff is very helpful and enjoys talking to students about life and helping to give advice. It is a very inclusive school that helps to make it a safe space for everyone.

The best part of attending Folsom High School was the academics, because our teachers were amazing. They really cared about us as people and as learners, and I always felt really supported. The worst part was the standardized tests we had to take, but those were state-ordered so there's not anything the school could do about that.
