Folsom is known for high-quality schools, and the Plan Area will continue this tradition. The community is located within the boundaries of the Folsom Cordova Unified School District, which serves kindergarten through high school.

Once complete over the next 25 to 30 years, the area will have five new elementary schools, a middle school, and a high school. The first elementary school is designed as two-story single building that will accommodate 668 students in kindergarten through fifth grade. Remaining schools planned for the area will be constructed as neighborhoods emerge. Middle and high school students will be able to attend existing schools north of Highway 50 until the middle/high school is complete.

Schools in the Plan Area are funded by developer fees, state funds, and a general obligation bond passed in 2007, and not by existing Folsom residents, per the requirements of Measure W. In addition to schools, the area will include public amenities such as a municipal service center and library, police and fire stations, and other public services and facilities.
