Florin High School

Hands down the best school in Elk Grove.

Floren Elementary’s systemic issues severely fail its students on multiple levels. The principal and vice principal, dismisses concerns, whether shared verbally or in writing, fostering a culture of inaction and neglect. Staff appear disengaged, prioritizing paychecks over student needs, and set a poor example by ignoring accountability. Policies strip away students’ rights, creating an environment where safety, emotional well-being, and trust are neglected. Despite the risks to my position, I have repeatedly advocated for these children, as their well-being is more important than anything else. It is heartbreaking to see their needs consistently overlooked and their voices silenced. This neglect is causing lasting harm, and the students deserve better—a safe, supportive school where they are valued and respected. I will continue to stand up for these children because they deserve someone to fight for their rights and future.

My child has not started here, but I really hope my child does not need to either. The staff Julianna is just so rude. She yells over the phone and asks questions over and over as if my English does not make sense. However, she is the one with an accent. I am really at the verge of just raising my voice back. Rude office assistances can ruin the school reputation. It makes parents like myself, uncomfortable and unwelcomed to even come there.

Since being placed on an IEP, my child has made noticeable progress both academically and emotionally. The IEP team worked closely with me to identify specific learning challenges and strengths, which helped tailor strategies that truly support my child’s unique needs. Through a combination of small group instruction, visual supports, regular check-ins, and sensory breaks, my child is now more engaged and confident in the classroom. The consistent structure and individualized goals have made a big difference in helping us figure out what works—especially with reading comprehension and managing focus. I truly appreciate how the school has collaborated with us to adjust the plan when needed and stay committed to my child’s growth.

highly recommend 10/10. we moved from the bay area and found the academics here to be more challenging in a good way. My son is more engaged and I love the teachers he’s had over the last 2.5 years
