Summary

T F Birmingham Elementary is a PK-4 school in Wylie, TX, serving 522 students as part of the highly-regarded Wylie Independent School District (Isd), and it stands out as an equity champion by achieving exceptional academic results with a student population that includes a higher percentage of students from low-income households compared to many nearby schools.

What truly sets Birmingham apart is its remarkable performance with students who face economic challenges. The school ranks in the 98th percentile statewide for supporting low socio-economic status students, a dramatic improvement from just two years prior. This is a stark contrast to top-performing neighbors like Tibbals Elementary and Don Whitt Elementary, which have much lower free/reduced lunch rates. Birmingham also excels with its African American students (99th percentile) and special education students (93rd percentile), showing a strong commitment to helping every child succeed. While the school's overall state ranking has climbed to the 93rd percentile, it operates in a district full of high-achieving peers—schools like Cheri Cox Elementary and Wally Watkins Elementary rank in the 96th to 99th percentiles—which means Birmingham's accomplishments sometimes fly under the radar.

There are a couple of areas where parents might want to ask questions. Fourth-grade reading scores (63.46% proficient) fell well below the district average (78.85%), suggesting a possible challenge as students tackle more complex reading comprehension. Additionally, while the school has improved support for Asian students (now at the 66th percentile), this remains its weakest subgroup area. On the positive side, Birmingham's per-student spending ($12,459) is in the middle of the pack compared to neighbors, indicating efficient use of resources to achieve strong outcomes with a diverse student body. For parents who value a school that works hard to close opportunity gaps and lift all students, Birmingham is a standout choice in the Wylie area.
