One of the things that makes me so upset is that there are no lockers or any place for the kids to…read moreput their books in the classrooms, so they don't have to carry them around. The bags are extremely heavy to carry all day, and now my daughter has severe back issues that are far worse than before she even started school here. Her last middle school did NOT have this issue. This is causing long term, permanent damage because of how heavy the backpacks are! My daughter's back hurts so bad everyday even crying some days from it hurting so badly. This has caused her posture to be very poor because her back hurts so bad to keep it straight! This really infuriates me! The school clearly doesn't care about our kids health or skeletal development otherwise they would have a system for the kids books. I've carried her backpack, and even I would have major issues with it pulling on my neck and causing back aches. These are young children and Their bodies are still growing. We are in Folsom supposed to be better schools. There should be a better solution for this very serious problem!

The kids have plenty of mat room and parents have room and space to hang out and enjoy. The room offers lots of mats for the floor, mats on the wall, mirrors on the walls, rings, and ropes. The best part about this school is the staff working. All of the coaches and volunteers working in this FOLSOM community are phenomenal. They all are fantastic with children. They work really hard to be as patient and helpful as possible- with all the different personalities and ages of each child. They all understand the energy and compassion that each individual needs. If you have children, this is definitely a place to come and bring them. I suggest doing so 100%! I love this place and the people working in it!

Attended the 2015 Northern California Character Combine at Folsom High School. Seminars and…read morespeakers focus on sportsmanship, leadership, and character building. http://charactercombine.com/sports-development/northern-california-combine The campus is very nice and well-suited for such an event. Most main stage speaker sessions occurred at the Jill Solberg Performing Arts Center theater for everyone including students/athletes, with the separate individual breakout sessions for coaches/parents/administrators happening in one of the two-story classroom buildings (I believe the two classrooms I visited were typically used for World History and Geography), and continental breakfast and sandwich lunch in the multipurpose room/cafeteria area. The theater was big, about 700 person capacity, comfortable seating, and an impressive lights/sound system for the stage. #whatsyourwhy

The school claims to pride itself on its Catholic values and sense of community. This couldn't be further from the truth. While there are families there for the right reasons, the majority are not. There is a huge problem with bullying, and it goes completely unaddressed. The kids are rude and many lack basic manners. Not a far departure from the parents who are simply there for status. This is much more a private school than a Catholic school. This review is 100% towards the school. St. John the Baptist Church is wonderful and unfortunately has very little to do with the school. This year can not be over soon enough, taking my kids to a much better environment.

The administration at this school continually neglect many of its student and is incapable of…read morefufulling the needs and safety of those attending. Their are constant accusations that have no grounds in regards to drug use and students are often categorized based off of loose factors of stereotypes. Although drug use is a problem, the way the school is going about it doesn't stop the problem but only makes it worse causing retalliation in the students. Students that are sexually harrassed and assaulted have been ignored and many people are afraid to go on campus due to these perverted bullies. With personal experience to this, I believe that the school doesn't want a scene to be made by either parties with law suits specifically in mind. They push it to the side and it becomes a fear among the victims that another event of trauma will happen in a place where they feel safe. Administration also fails to show proper sex education with its outdated practices in teaching the subject. The overall education is quite taxing and mentally draining but is also excellent without a doubt. Mental health and suicide should be talked about more in the school but this applies to an international level. Although with the amount of funding the school gets, there should be more suffiecient with how students are feeling. Poor experiences are common, but there are a lot of benefits. The students have an egotistical personality but that is individualized. Majority that have such ignorance is from a higher economic status. I would consider going to this school.
