William Faria Elementary School

I agree . School is great but Worst part is the front office staff..they are very very unfriendly.. and not professional.

Great school and excellent teachers. My son has been going there for the last 2 years and we moved from a private school. The teaching is far superior.

I can say same feeling as below comment. Nothing great in school.They are depending on kids progress.

Faria is a good school, but NOT a great one. It's highly over-rated and there is lot more hype for Faria than some other Cupertino schools which are also good. Diversity is non-existent, and almost all parents care a lot about academics and hence the high API scores. Not all teachers are good. The school does well because most parents take keen interest and push their kids a lot. Nothing great about this school. Those who don't get into this school due to the lottery system should not despair - there are many good schools in neighborhood - e.g. Garden Gate

Faria is a great school. I have two daughters studying in this school and I have never felt any homework or academics pressure. I am a working mom and try to volunteer whenever I can. i can only thank the other parents who volunteer a lot for their dedication and the teachers and principal for theire sincerity and hardwork. This year Faria has becaome one of California's Distinguished Schools! We are lucky that we qualified in the lottery and had the oppurtunity to experience Faria!

The principal is great, he is always in the campus for the kids and parents equally. My daughter is in fourth grade and enjoys going to school everyday. Good focus in academics and after school activities like band, chess and school sports activities.

It's a blessing for my child to go to Faria School. The principal and the teacher are very responsible, and kids are really learning from the clearly guided curriculum and daily school work. You can see the principal around the campus whenever there are school wide activities, regardless of night or weekend. I highly recommend this school to all parents. However, I still hope there're more field trips for young kids, though there's budget crisis throughout the state- Parent of a first grader.

My Daughter started attending Faria this year. So ,far I can only agree that Faria is way better than other schools. Discipline wise, academics wise. The Principal is so much involved. The teachers are excellent.Staff is friendly as well, if we don't drive them nuts with silly questions. I love this school, so does my daughter.
