We are proud to announce that Bob Folsom Elementary was named a National Showcase School for the third year in a row. How did we get chosen?
1. Folsom is committed to the full CKH journey - staff completing surveys to ensure engagement. 2. Folsom exceeded survey baselines, outperforming the national average in culture, climate, and student impact. 3. Evidence of Impact. 4. CKH recommendation. 5. Out of 10,000 campuses served, only those demonstrating both fidelity and meaningful outcomes receive this recognition. Being named a CKH National Showcase School is more than a recognition; it is a reflection of Folsom's culture. This distinction affirms that relationships are not just a philosophy on our campus, but a daily practice.
