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.

this is the best school I have ever seen the teacher are nice

The principal and assistant principal are terrible. No leadership or ownership. No guidance. Nothing for the kids to look forward to. It’s like the kids are in prison. It’s more like an alternative school with animals. I wouldn’t recommend this school at all

The teachers are not helpful they just yell at your kids when they don’t get how to do their work and they cuss and say inappropriate things

This school was terrible for my kids, especially my second grade daughter. Both, the teachers and staff are extremely rude and treat students like garbage. They encourage them to hide situations from parents and create an atmosphere of fear to the physical punishment. The administration will do nothing about it. This school destroyed my daughter's love for the school.

Most teachers are mean and rude. Also, doesn’t help much on children with learning disabilities. This school is dirty and has cockroaches from what my children have told me. There is a lot of bullying that takes place there to.

Diamond Lakes Elementary is a school with heart. The caring teachers, supportive environment, and emphasis on student recognition make it a positive place for children to grow. While there are challenges—particularly around academic performance and communication—the school shows real potential, and I believe with continued focus and parent involvement, it can improve further.
