They teach students music, poetry slam, public speaking, and many more. Not only do they teach STEM and Spanish classes, they also do fun activities like Family school dances where my whole family went and danced together with the other family, teachers and staff. I absolutely love the community aspect of this school. Let's talk about security. This school enforces strict rules regarding pick up and drop offs. A key pad must be entered in order to get in. Don't you want your loved ones to be safe and secure all day? Some bonus points are: Folsom Prep offers fun activities for after school programs, such as cooking and ninja classes. My daughter absolutely loves summer camp here as well. Kona ice has frequently stopped by over the last couple of years during summer camp. Currently my daughter is taking the ninja class on Fridays. You will not be disappointed if you enroll your loved ones here! Message me if you have additional questions :)

I am so glad we did!! My daughter went from not wanting to go to school, to now loves going, and is thriving! We are so thankful for the kind and amazing staff. That the teachers really communicate thoroughly on the progress and projects. We know that the well-being of our baby girl is in good hands here. I am so thankful we found this school.

THIS SCHOOL IS HORRIBLE! I was previously going through a custody battle with my children's father…read moreafter he basically parental KIDNAPPED our two children . I HAD NO KNOWN LOCATIONS FOR MY CHILDREN , THEY'RE FATHER WAS A FLIGHT RISK. I had found out my children were going to this school , I PROVIDED ALL INFORMATION SHOWING I AM THEIR MOTHER AND THEY'VE BEEN IN MY CARE (the father had his girlfriend on all the records for the school claiming she was the children's mother) this school asked for no type of proof , RECORDS, ANYTHING! I informed them they can call law enforcement (I had all proper documentation) just for the school to call their dad to immediately pick them up . This made it so much MORE DIFFICULT TO LOCATE MY CHILDREN AND CONFIRM THEIR SAFETY! This school IS HORRIBLE AND SAFETY IS NOT A PRIORITY AT ALL! The school must realize they were VERY WRONG because I pulled my children out of the school after involving Folsom Police in an effort to locate my children AFTER ALL THIS MESS ! They're fortunate I don't get an attorney and sue the school district for negligence. ANOTHER THING , when I called the school to inform them I have located my children and I HAVE EMERGENCY CUSTODY THE WOMAN IN THE OFFICE HAD THE AUDACITY TO ARGUE WITH ME! THIS SCHOOL IS A MOCKERY !!

Wow! Super surprised there isn't a review yet!…read more School looks really nice. Well kept, yet limited parking. Interaction with the staff has been pleasant so far. The kiddo started Kindergarten today. Registration process went smooth. I heard the school was impacted, so some kids were getting sent via bus to other schools. Library looks awesome! Lots of books. We had to go there for some ESL testing. I guess they are required to test when there is more than one language spoken at home. Little did they know the 5 year old was fluent in sarcasm, too! Haha!! Me the kiddo's Kindergarten teacher. He was put into a 10:25am-1:46pm class. Note--they aren't given a school lunch in Kinder, but do get a 30 minute recess where they can eat snacks brought from home. It sounds like they look for a lot of volunteer work and donations. $40 donation for classroom supplies and cheetah bags for each student--which makes sense if they are trying to be fair and equal. My son goes by his middle name, and they are attempting to make him use his first name (long story). Thinking there might be an issue that comes up when he doesnt respond to his first name O_o...gonna give them the benefit of the doubt. Cheers! Looking forward to an awesome year.

She even likes it probably more so than I do Teachers and staff are all caring and attentive to the students and their needs, it's a really close knit community that is also very very welcoming.

The reason why there is a waiting list to get in is because this school makes learning fun. Well, fun is not the right word, I suppose interdisciplinary is more appropriate. My daughter who is in first grade loves school to the point that she doesn't like weekends. I am hoping this attitude continues throughout her scholastic life (it was not the case with me!). Parental involvement is in every aspect of the school, so if you do not wish to get involved with your child's school, then this is not the school for you. At least two hours per week is required in the lower grades and I have been told that as the kids get older, it is not as necessary. Also there is a mandatory monthly parents meeting that averages about 1 - 2 hours. Fieldtrips are about twice a month, sometimes more. Again, parents volunteer to be a part of the fieldtrips as there is not school bus to take kids to the outings. However, the kids absolutely LOVE IT! Orangevale Open (OV) is considered to be a performing arts school. Kids can participate in drama and at one point there was a choir. I don't know if it will be coming back or not. The students are assigned a "buddy" or mentor starting from Kindergarten. Wow. What an interesting concept to learn! And the older kids get to see what it is like to tutor younger kids. Whenever I tell other parents about the school, the first question they ask is, "Is it a private school?". Technically it is not, but we pay on average $60 a month or so for all the field trips and activities. Very inexpensive when you compare to private tuition costs.

Are they being bullied? Are they being a bully? Just a parent's basic concerns or questions we might have should be answered and handled with care & respect.

Aarti is an EOE nurse whom I communicate with often has made me feel content leaving my baby, Courtney makes me feel comfortable too and she I think is the schools LVN? I could be wrong though but she works with my baby too throughout the day. I also feel even more content when my daughter comes home and tells me about her day and has nothing bad to say. Seems like their students are all well behaved and respectful. My daughter's teacher even sends me emails here and there with updates regarding her day and behavior which is another stress reliever.

I live nearby and hear it from my house which is a few blocks away. It gets old. Is the child ok? Why are they screaming from the top of their lungs EVERY. SINGLE. DAY? They need to be respectful to the people of the neighborhood which their school is in but they are not. I have called them and talked to them about the issue and the lady on the phone did not take responsibility and acted like she could not sympathize, and the problem continues. You don't live here, I do. It's loud, chronic, and disturbs the peace, which is illegal and I will pursue the matter further.
