Smoketree Elementary generally performs above the district and state averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency across grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, Smoketree's 4th grade ELA proficiency was 51% compared to the district's 45% and the state's 46%, and its 4th grade Math proficiency was 51% compared to the district's 44% and the state's 40%. The school also has strong performance among certain student subgroups, ranking 9th out of 654 Arizona elementary schools for Native American students and 36th out of 975 schools for English Language Learners in 2020-2021. However, Smoketree's statewide ranking has declined from the 300s in the mid-2010s to the 400s and 500s in more recent years, suggesting a potential decline in relative performance.

Compared to the other elementary schools in the Lake Havasu Unified District, Smoketree Elementary generally performs better on state assessments, has higher spending per student, and a higher student-teacher ratio. However, some nearby schools, such as Starline Elementary, have stronger performance in certain grade levels and subjects.
