EPIC SCHOOL
Epic School is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the Birmingham City school district, located in Birmingham, AL with about 410 students offering grade levels from Pre-Kindergarten to 5th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 26 teachers, Epic School has a student/teacher ratio of about 15:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.
**Epic Elementary School**, located in the heart of Birmingham, Alabama, is a specialized magnet school within the Birmingham City Schools system. Renowned for its unique educational philosophy, the school focuses on an integrated arts-based curriculum.

The school is well-regarded for its vibrant learning environment, which emphasizes student engagement and individual expression. Because it functions as a magnet program, it draws students from across the district who are interested in a curriculum that prioritizes the arts as a core component of daily instruction. Through its commitment to a well-rounded education, Epic Elementary seeks to prepare its students not only for academic success in middle and high school but also to instill a lifelong appreciation for the creative arts.
