The teachers and staff at Smoky Row Elementary seek to create a safe and inclusive environment for all students. They work toward this goal through leadership opportunities, direct social skill instruction and a commitment to positive interactions. Students are inspired to become future leaders through the Smoky Row Rockets Leadership Postcard program. This program celebrates moments of leadership in the classroom and throughout the community. While the school is committed to a quality environment, students also routinely score well in academic testing. Smoky Row is home to one of the early childhood centers offered in the Carmel Clay School District. This program offers young learners from three to five years of age a continuum of services to prepare them for success at Smoky Row. A special education program and gifted student program also promote a continuum of individualized learning opportunities from kindergarten through fifth grade. Every morning at Smoky Row starts with community circle time. The day then transitions into core academic instruction and specialty classes. Media, physical education, music, art and computer classes, as well as many enrichment clubs, inspire students and expand their experiences as they prepare for middle school and beyond.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
