Weve had such a positive experience with Faylane Elementary. Our son had a bit of a rough start when he first began here, but his teachers and the principal were incredibly supportive and worked with us to help him get on the right track. It made such a difference, and ever since then he has genuinely loved going to school. Hes now in his second year here and is happy, comfortable, and excited to learn.
Our daughter just started attending this year as well, and she already loves it too! It means so much as a parent to send your kids somewhere they feel happy, supported, and excited to be. Were incredibly grateful for the teachers, staff, and administration and for the care theyve shown our family. Five stars from us!

I absolutely love the teachers at Faylane Elementary! All of my children attended Faylanemy youngest is now 23and now my 4-year-old grandchild is in TK there. It says so much that many of the same incredible teachers are still devoted to this school community.
Mrs. Redmond, Ms. Whitman, Mrs Graham and so many others have made a lasting impact on their students. We truly cannot thank you enough.
Teachers shape the heart of a school, and Faylanes educators do it with genuine care, patience, and love. This school is filled with people who show up every day to make a differenceand it shows.
Highly recommend Faylane Elementary!

This school used to be great. Over the last 2 years it's really gone downhill. From the top to the Boys and Girls club staff. It's very sad. My child used to love going to school and now it's not a big deal. The Principal doesn't give support to the students and some teachers are bullies or they don't care for your child if they aren't the top performers. The Boys and girls club staff are very immature. It's a shame.

My 4 year old today was able to leave school during lunch time and managed to show up at home. They are not watching our children here. No one noticed my son opened the gate and left school by himself. Great school if you want to lose your children.

My son has gone here for 5 years and we love this school. From the Teachers (Mrs. Trinh and Mrs. O'Toole are some favorites) to the B&G club afterschool. I have great communication with all the teachers and the staff at B&G club (Nam is the absolute best) are awesome. I believe it takes both the parents and the staff to make a child successful and I truly believe this is what Faylane stands for as well. Keep the communication open in all areas and you will have a great experience with this school.

I have two children and two nephews that attend Faylane currently. Over the past 6 years, we have seen two great principals, Dr. Carter and Mr. Hegberg. Both went above and beyond their job description, in my opinion. We currently got a new principal and it has been difficult to adjust for both students and parents. I miss walking up to pick up my kids and being greeted by a friendly, smiling principal. Instead, I hardly ever see the principal, and would not even know who she is had I not attended a meeting. She has changed many things at the school, some that were necessary, and others that were not. The majority were not! She presents herself as an open-minded person, yet she has not listened to our concerns. The staff is exceptional!! They have always been terrific and now I am not so sure they are very happy either! I really hope things go back to normal again!

This school is horrible. They heavily lack communication skills. The teachers do a decent job while they are overwhelmed. The principle has serious problem understanding his place and job. Fails to use simple common sense and display an understanding of basic communication skills. I have emailed back and forth with the staff and teachers and the horrible use of the English language on those responsible to teach our children the correct way is deplorable. I do not live in this district and have tried over the last few years to be involved in my son's schooling and have, with the exception of his kindergarten teacher (who transferred away from this school), seen roadblocks by the school at each turn. I have been diplomatic and tried to work with them, but it is clear they are inept. When treated this way by the school, with the exception of the Assistant Superintendent of schools, you don't even get an apology. Instead they just make you feel more unwelcome....Sad

I currently have two nieces and one nephew are attending at Faylane. We are very grateful all the teachers who give my kids the best of education and knowledge. The principal is friendly; the staff is helpful. Thank you for making the wonderful environment every time we go to Faylane.

First, I talk to the principle, He kind of nice from the beginning, but when the conversation going on, regarding my child behavior in schooling. He questioned and get angry toward me, not in a pleasant voice. I am very dissapointed !!!!
