Summary

Folsom High is a large, top-performing public high school serving grades 9-12 with approximately 2,900 students in the Folsom-Cordova Unified school district, consistently ranking in the top 7% of all California high schools.

The school demonstrates remarkable strengths, particularly in English Language Arts where 80% of students are proficient, and in supporting specific student groups like English Learners, where it ranks in the state's 99th percentile. It maintains an exceptional graduation rate above 96% and a very low chronic absenteeism rate of 8.3%, indicating a highly engaged student body. While performing well in math (51% proficient), this is a relative area for improvement compared to nearby schools like Vista del Lago High (62%) and Oak Ridge High (65%). Notably, the school has sustained this high performance even as the percentage of economically disadvantaged students has increased.

Folsom High achieves its excellent outcomes with moderate per-student spending, suggesting efficient operations. It stands in stark contrast to other schools within its own district, such as Folsom Lake High, which is located less than a mile away but ranks in the bottom 2% statewide. This highlights Folsom High's effective model as a large, comprehensive school that successfully balances scale with consistent quality and robust support systems for all students.
