Smoke Rise Elementary School

Smoke Rise Elementary sits in one of Stone Mountain's more established, tree-lined neighborhoods, where families tend to put down long roots and get involved in their schools. Science is a real standout here, placing well above average for the state, which gives it a nice edge for families who want their kids engaged in hands-on, curiosity-driven learning. Stone Mountain itself offers a mix of suburban comfort and outdoor access — with the park and trails nearby — making it a solid fit for families who value both community feel and room to explore.
