Summary

Russell Ranch Elementary is a 503-student K–5 school in Folsom, part of Folsom-Cordova Unified. Its standout result is leading the eight nearby K–5 schools with comparable 2025–26 scores in both English language arts and math.

Russell Ranch scored 81% in ELA and 75% in math, about 10 and 6 percentage points above the nearby-school averages, respectively. Science is its relative weak spot: its 50% result was about 6 points below the nearby average and tied with Oak Chan Elementary. Still, Russell Ranch scored above the district and state in all three subjects. Its ELA, math and science results were 81%, 75% and 50%, compared with 59%, 49% and 47% for the district, and 49%, 38% and 36% statewide.

Science has declined the most: proficiency fell from 71% in 2022–23 to 50% in 2025–26, while math fell from 80% to 75%; ELA rose from 77% to 81%. SchoolDigger ranks Russell Ranch 485th of 5,804 schools, at the 92nd percentile with 5 stars—still high, but below the 95th–99th percentiles it reached in most earlier years shown. The school’s student–teacher ratio is 21:1, and 10% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–25. SchoolDigger’s rankings for how well schools serve student groups show two notable results: Russell Ranch ranks at the 97th percentile for Low Socio Economic Status Students, up from the 90th percentile in 2024–25, while its ranking for serving Multi-racial Students rose from the 48th percentile in 2023–24 to the 67th in 2025–26—still below its overall 92nd-percentile standing. Chronic absenteeism was 7% in 2025–26, lower than the district’s 13% and the state’s 18%.
