We come here every Tuesday and Thursday for Maddog Wrestling. My five year old practices here. The…read moregym is large and the wrestling room is in that- also a good size. 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 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 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.

I attended the school about 18 years ago and boy or boy did I love it. Now just like your favorite…read morehidden coffee shop or sandwich shop - 'if you know you know' and that's probably why the school is so great - because there aren't tons of kids from outside areas trying to sneak in and instead it stays "local" and enjoyable with the same group of kids that reflects the benefits of a society focused on morals and integrity. Sure there's always a few of "those kids" with extra means and the fancy cars given to them by parents with no quality time to spend but the same can be found at any school the only difference here is that those kids tend not to cause trouble but rather are more interested in a "good time" and after all who isn't. Besides if you have integrity you won't be persuaded regardless of what school you attend. Thank your parents for that. Enough about all that, what's important is the positive attitude found with the staff and overall with the students. More so than most schools nearby. Front desk here is helpful , upper staff is helpful and kind. I came from another school to here at my junior year and I was very impressed with the abilities of the teachers to teach outside the standard outlines and expand our attention ie home Eco / fish and wildlife / English with siturude / video production!!! My favorite - all made you appreciate being in a seemingly top tier school. So I'd give this school experience an A+ coming from a shy kid to start and ending as a confident student at the end. Happy to take on the world. Ps if you're a parent of a kid like the review below mine - maybe stop having a victim mentality so your kids don't go around being a 1 star kind of person everywhere they go aka modern woke society - go woke go broke. Happy I didn't have that going on in my household growing up.

Only for staff to tell him "boys will be…read moreboys" and for admin to tell my mixed-husband, that at least the student who called our son the N-Word did so in front of white people only. The district also never did anything meaningful when we addressed this with them. They did an "investigation" and then nothing happened except we got papers claiming they had no proof of our claims. The district family engagement person also claimed to want to help us and then we never heard from her again. Although she did say on our phone call that racism is rampant in the district and specifically with admin. If you value your children's mental health and safety, and there is a feasible way for you to get them into a different district, I would absolutely recommend it. ​

Old, OSHA violations in the cafeteria & stage, bland, food that is very easily the worst out of any school I've ever seen, unappealing visuals, confusing layout, unregulated racism and bigotry among students, and a lack of school spirit. The school staff are alright, not bad. Generally helpful. Some have passion. Don't take the painting class, the teacher is notoriously rude and unhelpful. It gets the job done, but if you're looking to move to the Sacramento area, I would consider looking into adjacent cities with better schools.
