WYLAM K8

Wylam K8 is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the Birmingham City school district, located in Birmingham, AL with about 434 students offering grade levels from Pre-Kindergarten to 8th 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, Wylam K8 has a student/teacher ratio of about 16:1. 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.

Wylam K-8, located in the Wylam community of Birmingham, Alabama, serves as a foundational educational institution within the Birmingham City Schools district. As a K-8 facility, the school provides a continuous learning environment that guides students from their early elementary years through the transition into early adolescence. The school’s curriculum is designed to build core academic competencies in literacy, mathematics, science, and social studies, while preparing students for the academic rigors they will face in high school.

Beyond its academic focus, Wylam K-8 strives to be a central pillar of the local community, emphasizing character development and student engagement.
