Selby Lane is a wonderful school in a beautiful neighborhood.  The facility is very clean and has great playgrounds.  Ms. Williams the Principal runs a really tight ship and does a great job of maintaining control in a large school with a huge age range!  Our son is in kindergarten at the school and has had a wonderful experience in Ms. Ford's class - she's an amazing teacher who is warm and encouraging while still making sure everyone follows the rules and has a chance to learn.  The children in my son's class came to school with a broad range of skills.  Some knew their letters, numbers, shapes and colors cold and were ready to start reading.  Others are still working on mastering those core skills.  We've felt the need to augment the class curriculum at home to keep our son challenged.
 
Unfortunately there is not a lot of parent involvement which makes it hard for the school to do things like field trips, plays by the children, etc.

Example reviews:

"This school has absolutely changed my son's life! He is a brilliant kid who has a learning disability, and the staff absolutely understands his situation and teaches the way he learns! They are so insightful, understanding and capable, I feel lucky that we are part of that community."

"They have a newly built building which is absolutely gorgeous and very well laid out. In general the staff is caring, but firm. Only bad thing is that parent involvement is not encouraged. Yet!!"
