Folsom High School provides students with a surplus of academic, artistic, musical, and athletic opportunities and electives not offered to many other schools. Although a very large school, it's not difficult to find people who share the same interests and passions as you do without fear of being ostracized. Because of all the opportunities and accepting environment, students come out of FHS with a stronger confidence in their plans after high school (or newfound interest in activities discovered through their electives) and the people they'd like to surround themselves with.
Being a school in the suburbs, concerns over safety haven't crossed my mind as much, but do know there had been few cases of bullying and inequality. Personally, I had not experienced or even witnessed this behavior, but credit the school in taking action to solve these issues through mental health check ups and a new Student Culture and Diversity Council.

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.
