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
