Overall, the school is decent. It is safe, clean and the teachers care about their students. I do feel a lot of pressure regarding STAR testing and pushing the child to get high scores.

... Read more rankings and money if your child doesn't score well.' Well, whoop-e-doo-da, I don't care about rankings at all. All I care about is that my child is happy and learning what is needed to go on. Also, I really DO NOT like the admin staff in the office. They are rude, judgemental and all have power trips. With that being said, I love my children's teachers. They are great! Read less

Folsom Hills is set in a tight community and is a very safe school. This is the good news. It has one of the only Spanish Magnet programs in the district and many other great activities supported by the PTA and parents with money. That said; it is a place in which the parents may be a bit too involved.
... Read more It is a community that snubs its nose at any new community members that don't meet the FH standards. The parents would like to run the school and emails run abound when they don't like what they see even if they do not know the whole story or how a state budget works. In short; entitled parents are teaching their kids 'entitlement'. The GATE program is laughable. The playground is only now being updated. In short; what may have started as a great school years ago, teaches to the STAR test Read less

The school offers very little extracurricular activities, focus only on the STAR testing scores, and parenting involvement is average. There's hardly none field trips, and if your child is a gifted student, this school has nothing to offer .

Folsom Hills is a wonderful school. My three children have all attended and received more socially and educationally than I could have ever expected. The teachers are able to challenge my children to become smart, and independent people. The after school activities are numerous.

Parent involvement is extremely high especially in the lower grades. The music program is great and continues through middle school and high school. Unfortunately, when the principal left a few years ago she took the top teachers with her. My family thought the district should not have allowed this.
