Frenchtown Elementary has demonstrated strong academic performance, ranking in the top 21% of New Jersey elementary schools in the 2024-2025 school year with a 4-star rating. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics consistently exceed state averages across grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, 57.1% of 3rd graders, 68.8% of 5th graders, and 53.9% of 8th graders were proficient or better in ELA, compared to state averages of 44.9%, 52.7%, and 57.1%, respectively. In Mathematics, 71.4% of 3rd graders, 68.8% of 5th graders, and 9.1% of 8th graders were proficient or better, compared to state averages of 49.8%, 44.2%, and 20.7%. Frenchtown Elementary's performance in Science is also noteworthy, with 50% of 5th graders and 7.7% of 8th graders proficient or better, compared to state averages of 30.1% and 19%.

While Frenchtown Elementary outperforms many nearby schools, such as Pohatcong Township School and Robert Hunter Elementary School, in academic metrics, some nearby schools, like Union Township Elementary School and Bloomsbury Borough School, also demonstrate strong performance that rivals or exceeds Frenchtown Elementary's in certain grade levels and subjects. However, the school's high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 14.9% to 26.1% over the past few years, are an area of concern that warrants further investigation and potential improvement.
