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.

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.
