I love the teachers’ dedication at Folsom High! They really go the extra mile to make learning and coming to class enjoyable. I also appreciate Folsom’s wide variety of classes. Taking new classes helped me find new interests, such as art and psychology. If I could change anything about the school, I would increase the art department’s budget. I’ve been an avid participant in drawing/painting classes for three years, and it makes me sad to see the teachers struggle each year to meet the budget. With increased funds, art classes would rely less on parent donations and would be able to help more students pursue their artistic passions.
I recommend this school for its very high competitiveness in sports. The campus itself isn't the most beautiful, but it does suit itself well for the location and students. Folsom High School's students are very diverse with ethnicity, race, and color. As well as being a very sports-forward school, FHS is also very high up there in academics. It is the place to be if you are an athletic and/or academically gifted student. Most teachers here are amazing, although some have had some negative thoughts spread around campus. The schedule is very different from other schools, but it is very easy to fit in and find your niche in this school! One of the few complaints I have is the sanitary issues with water fountains here and there, and some of the food served in the cafeteria is not ideal.
Folsom High School provides a wonderful, tuition free experience for high schoolers and grooms them exceptionally in order to face the assimilations of college life. The horizon-expanding teachers dedicate a majority of their own time to ensure the quality and quantity of their lessons are up to par, preparing students well for not only their tests but end of the year exams as well. This school is particularly impressive in terms of the athletic department, which consists of outstanding players who have reached nationwide levels. Many individuals interested in pursuing a college sport come here. Folsom High does lack quality in the club department however. Barely any clubs are well known and/or compete with recognition such as Math, Science, Speech&Debate or MUN club. There is not much room for growth and possibilities at this school; although there is much emphasis for engineering/computer science interested students, the medical side does not have much to offer unlike other schools.
