The academic excellence of our scholars was recognized recently as Faylane Elementary School was named a 2018 California Distinguished School, an elite honor for the state's most successful public schools. Faylane was also recognized on the 2018 California Honor Roll for high achievement in student success, reduction in achievement gaps, and high college readiness in students.  

The outstanding programs and opportunities that contribute to our school's success include:

• Before and after school coding, robotics and STEM classes teach students important skills to thrive in the 21st century
• Before and after school academic intervention which provides students with extra support in English and math and is offered by our amazing teachers

Our campus offers classes such as the 40 Developmental Assets of Education, the 10 Commandments of Education, Latino Literacy, Drug Awareness Education and Communication With Your Child in a Tech-Driven World.  Our success is due in large part to the high engagement of our parent volunteers.
