Vision:

Vista del Lago High School is a Professional Learning Community dedicated to ensuring that each student gains the knowledge and skills necessary to demonstrate outstanding academic and personal achievement. In partnership with students, parents, and the community, we are dedicated to developing engaged and ethical young adults who approach learning with courage, compassion, and resilience in a diverse and changing global community.

Vista del Lago High School is one of two comprehensive high schools in Folsom. Folsom has rapidly grown into an economically advantaged community with an increasingly diverse population with a median age of 40.9 years. Approximately 55.9% of its inhabitants are White, 18.2% are Asian, 7.69% are Hispanic, 4.38% are Black, and 5.78% identify as two or more races. According to the 2022 census data, the median household income is approximately $135,000 annually.

The growth and development of the community in the last few years have led to large population growth at Vista del Lago High School, resulting in an overcrowded campus and impacted facilities. While built to support 1600-1700 students, Vista del Lago currently has an enrollment of just under 1800.

The latest information from Ed-Data shows that just over 5% of our students are at the poverty level; less than 1% of our students are homeless and, we currently have <5 foster youth students; 0.7% of our students are English Learners (EL). Our unduplicated Free or Reduced Price Meals (FRPM)/EL/Foster youth is at 5.7%.
