Russell Ranch Elementary

Russell Ranch Elementary sits in one of Folsom's newer master-planned neighborhoods, where tree-lined streets and well-kept parks set the backdrop for a genuinely strong academic program — consistently ranking among the top elementary schools in the Sacramento region. The school draws families who are serious about academics but also want that tight-knit, community feel that newer Folsom developments tend to foster, with involved parents and engaged teachers who show up for both. Folsom itself is a great place to raise kids, with access to Folsom Lake, miles of trails, and a downtown that still feels local — and Russell Ranch fits right into that picture of a community that takes education seriously without losing its neighborhood charm.
