"From observation, the principal does not interact with the student except in a disciplinary capacity. The teacher quality is good, however, turnover of staff seems to be a problem. There are limited extracurricular activities and parent involvement is extremely minimal. Safety is an issue due to frequent discipline problems that do not seem to be controlled."

"My son went here, and he really enjoyed it. There are great teachers, as well as principals. The only problem is that it doesn't have many extracurricular activities."

"Many supportive and experienced teachers, with many extra-cirricular activities. The only thing I am concerned about is the school enviormment. Some students are sent to the GATE programs, while others are left behind."

(March 2004)
"My children have attended Selby Lane since 2000. I have found that the teachers are great-very experienced and caring about their students. The school has experienced a lot of commotion over the past six years - construction, principal and teacher turnover. It seems that it's settling down now - there is a new library, state of the art science lab & computer lab, new multi purpose building and new 2 story building. We have a new principal who is committed to the school and students. Teachers are staying. Also, a group of community leaders has formed the Selby Education Foundation to raise money for programs at the school. I encourage the community to come see the school, talk to the administration and take a tour of the school. "
