I am a parent of Tobacco Road. I have two children there and I love the school. They have the best teachers and my children are very happy. The principal and the teachers have high expectations not only for academics, but for behavior as well. My daughter is in kindergarten and she is READING! I am so glad my children go to school there.

I am a parent who has had three children to attend the school. I like the school itself but I do feel that some of the teachers that are there do not have that caring factor when your child may have a slight learning disability and are not willing take that extra step to help. Even when you screaming for it.

Great school. Buildings are very clean. Behavior of students is wonderful. Super teachers. Students are really cared for here.
