The school is part of the Coahoma County School District, which is ranked 112 out of 130 school districts in Mississippi and is rated 1 star out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Friars Point Elementary School does not appear to be a standout school in the region, as it has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of Mississippi elementary schools, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's academic performance, as measured by the percentage of students proficient or better in MAAP tests, is significantly below the state and district averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 30.4% of 3rd-grade students at Friars Point Elementary were proficient or better in ELA, compared to the state average of 57.7% and the district average of 30.1%.

The school's high percentage of students (100%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch indicates a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. Despite the relatively high per-student spending and low student-teacher ratio, the school's academic performance remains significantly below state and district averages, raising questions about the effective allocation and utilization of resources. The persistent low performance and socioeconomic challenges suggest the need for targeted interventions to improve student outcomes at Friars Point Elementary School.
