Summary

Folsom Hills Elementary is a highly-rated public K-5 school serving about 500 students in the affluent community of Folsom, California, within the Folsom-Cordova Unified school district.

The school consistently ranks in the top 10% of all California elementary schools, with student test scores well above state averages in English, math, and science. It has an exceptionally low rate of chronic student absences, indicating a strong and engaging school culture. A particular standout is the school's remarkable success with special education students, whose performance ranks in the state's top tier. While other high-performing schools like Russell Ranch Elementary and Empire Oaks Elementary may score slightly higher in some subjects, Folsom Hills is distinguished by its year-to-year consistency and its exceptional effectiveness with specific student groups.

An interesting finding is the difference in school funding across districts. Folsom Hills spends significantly more per student than schools in the neighboring Rescue Union Elementary district, such as Jackson Elementary and Lakeview Elementary, yet these schools achieve very similar academic results. This highlights that while Folsom Hills is undoubtedly an excellent school with strong resources, factors beyond funding play a crucial role in student success.
