Summary

Tobacco Road Elementary School is a public elementary school in Augusta, Georgia, serving 431 students in grades PK-5. As part of the Richmond County School District, which is ranked 177 out of 206 districts in the state, Tobacco Road Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of Georgia elementary schools over the past several years.

Tobacco Road Elementary faces significant academic challenges, with consistently low proficiency rates on state assessments compared to the district and state averages. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 14.5% of 3rd graders, 8.7% of 4th graders, and 16.1% of 5th graders were proficient or better in English Language Arts, far below the Richmond County and Georgia state averages. The school also has extremely high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, ranging from 87.47% to 97.9%, indicating a high concentration of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.

While Tobacco Road Elementary spends slightly more per student than the state average, it consistently underperforms compared to nearby schools in the Richmond County district, such as Dorothy Hains Elementary, Glenn Hills Elementary, and Wheeless Road Elementary. These schools, while still struggling, generally have higher academic proficiency rates and better overall performance metrics. Addressing the persistent underperformance at Tobacco Road Elementary will likely require a multi-faceted approach, including targeted interventions and a focus on supporting the unique needs of the school's student population.
