FOLSOM, Calif. — A new elementary school is coming to Folsom after the Folsom-Cordova Unified School District (FCUSD) unanimously approved the project in a board meeting.
Alder Creek Elementary School will be located at 4545 Old Ranch Way in the Folsom Ranch Development area.
The new school will be a two-story, 71,000-square-foot building with the capacity to hold 764 TK-fifth grade students, according to the FCUSD project fact sheet.
