Weatherly Heights Elementary School

Weatherly has a very strong academic program, which focuses on the needs of all the students. Enrichment and reinforcement of skills are a focus of the overall program for all students. Academic instruction is based on research based sound practices. Standardized test assessments show that at grades 3-5, Weatherly always is above the city and state average, with 85-92 percent achieving above the benchmark for the state. Programs are continuously analyzed to ensure quality instruction for all students. In addition, Weatherly has numerous enrichment opportunities for students, both during the school day and after school. Weatherly has one of the few Science labs paid by the PTA, and each class attends the hands-on Science lab on the same rotation as Art, Music, Library, and Guidance. Students also have the opportunity to be Peer Tutors, Science Lab aides, PE aides, Supply Store assistants, Library aides, Safety Patrol members, etc.

Weatherly parent support has always been at an exceptionally high level. Weatherly has the longest running record of 100% PTA membership in the state of Alabama. Volunteers are an integral part of our school, serving in the library, clinic, classrooms, and special projects.
