Selma Avenue Elementary is one of the worst elementary schools in Los Angeles. The staff at Selma is incompetent. The students there are very rude and disrespectful, this also reflects badly on the teachers at Selma. There's no behavior management at Selma. Students there do whatever they want. The students are the ones who run the school, it is sad but true. The campus is dirty, there roaches in the cafeteria, there are rat droppings in the rooms, there are a lot of dead plants on the campus, there's trash all over the playground. The charter school inside Selma are always leaving trash on the playground, but I have also seen many Selma students liter. There's no parent involvement at Selma.
