Great School. Teachers and Staff are amazing! They communicate well with parents and they are always looking for ways to involve the parents in the school activities.

This is probably the worse school I dealt with. Slap on the hand for bullying, always have to go to the school for a problem they cant handle. Did not like this school at all

This is such a great school and I can't say enough great things! The staff is super informant, so sweet, so attentive and involved with the kids. We transferred our son to this school after having a difficult time at his other school. He is in Kindergarten and moving him to Selma Elementary was the best decision we have ever made for him and his education!

Selma Elementary focuses on the character of all children. It is important to instill the basic character traits of a good human being, and Selma Elementary does just this every single day.

This school has the best administration and support staff of any school I've ever worked in. The district is high poverty, but you will never find a better team of teachers and support staff anywhere! It truly is a fantastic school that puts the students as priority number one. There is nothing this staff won't do for its kids!

i used to come here and i liked it, it was nice and so were the teachers. i do have to agree though that some kids do get out of control and they are mean to others but otherwise i love it.

This is my child's second year attending Selma Elementary school and we could not be more pleased with them! Her first grade teacher Mrs. Blakely is an exceptional teacher who goes above and beyond her curriculum to ensure that each child is able to grasp what is learned and strive to push themselves further. I give this school a 5 start based off of the 2 years we have been here. It is clean, safe and friendly environment and we have no complaints what so ever about this facility!

My family moved to NC from NJ and Selma Elementary School was nothing but detrimental for my children. I have a 5 year old handicapped daughter that there are NO resources for. Her teacher would have to change her diapers and deal with her needs. There are no aides or special needs classes in this school. Unheard of. And I have a 7 & 9 year old who were bullied mercilessly.We know two children who have also been bullied. And the pathetic teachers refused deal with the parents! Also they were not willing to see what gaps existed in their schooling since we'd moved from another state.We have 3 out of state neighbors who had the same problem. These children now go to Princeton Elementary School and their parents couldn't be happier. Exhausting, frustrating, and sub par are the best words I can politely use to describe my experience with this school. I ended up homeschooling them and they've done better than the school ever could have. Please do not subject your children to this sad excuse for a school. Consider Princeton (15 minutes away) if you're able to drive your children to their school. We expected a "normal" school year, but what we got was much worse- a nightmare.
