Walter M. Kennedy Elementary School (WMK) is located in Pell City, Alabama. It is a school of approximately 450 students in grades kindergarten through fourth. WMK is a Title I school. We receive federal funds to enhance the educational program due to a free and reduced lunch count of approximately 51%. We use these funds to maintain a certified teacher interventionist and four instructional aides who work with students daily.
Our facility was constructed in 1997 and has been excellently maintained. All instruction is provided within the school building - there are no modular/portable classrooms.
Our faculty and staff are committed to continuous improvement. Through on-going professional development and collaboration, teachers improve techniques, examine data, and maintain a focus on student achievement.
