    I lived in folsom for close to five years. even I had moved from bay area. Waterford apartments (promestheus) was the best with respect to quality of living and the indian crowd. there are lot of Indians no need to worry about it. itz not as big as bay area I mean fremont etc but it is really good. it is totally safe and natoma station elementary school is right opp to this apartment. and it has lot of indian kids. well I stayed there till end of 2012 and I hope nothing much has changed from then. hope this info helps.

    yes I have heard that itz a good school. most of the schools in folsom are really good. in blue ravine road therez a indian community center, I have heard that they teach bharatanatyam over there. I am sure you will find someone who can teach classical music aswell..you can log into kannadasanghaofsacramento.com and ask for info they will help you. with respect to groceries, you will definetly feel the difference, because it is not as big as the one we have in fremont. but most of the indians shop for veg in winco which is in blue ravine road and they go to indian stores (desi bazar) which is pretty far (and I have forgotten the location) once in a fortnight or so. you will get some indian groceries in winco aswell, like whole wheat, brown rice, etc. there are some indian stores In folsom itself like Malabar, which people use for emergency purpose because of price difference.
