The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
The Test Score Rating reflects annual state test results for this school compared with scores statewide.

Selma is a good school, but there are some bad things about it. The lack of discipline and safety we experience throughout the teachers, even some of the students makes the whole look bad. Staff members lack trust and enthusiasm, where teachers have to replace, because most of the students feel uncomfortable within the school environment.

The best thing about going to Selma high was the college readiness it gave you by connecting you to a community college and pay your fees for free,Selma high also is great for basketball and football. I would say the worst part about going to Selma high is the violence that happens a lot like fights,gun violence and police at school everday.Once you get use to that though the school is great
