Yeah, it seems that (assuming RWBY keeps the secret) her identity as a Faunus is still hidden from the public.

Interesting though, is that Sun knew that she was a Faunus. I had speculated that Faunus could spot each other out of a group of humans in another thread. I'd be interested to know just how he could sense it, though.
