The school is part of the Coahoma County School District, which is ranked 108 out of 130 school districts in the state and has a 1 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger.

Friars Point Elementary School does not appear to be a standout performer, with consistently below-average standardized test scores in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science compared to both the district and state averages. The school's statewide ranking has declined over the past three years, dropping from 355 out of 377 Mississippi elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 285 out of 383 in 2024-2025.
