PS 41 Francis White has shown significant improvement in academic performance over the years, with its statewide ranking improving from 2348 out of 2434 elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 932 out of 2445 in 2024-2025, earning a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school outperformed the district and the state in the percentage of students proficient or better in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math for grades 3-5. For example, in 3rd grade ELA, PS 41 Francis White had 65.22% proficiency, compared to 55.79% for the district and 54.15% for the state. The school has also shown strong performance for specific student subgroups, such as male students, African American students, and special education students, ranking in the top 1/3 of New York elementary schools for these groups.

While PS 41 Francis White has made progress, it still lags behind some of the nearby schools, such as PS 165 Ida Posner and Riverdale Avenue Community School, which have higher proficiency rates in ELA and Math. These nearby schools also have lower percentages of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, suggesting a more socioeconomically diverse student population. The school's challenges with Hispanic students and English Language Learners are concerning and may require targeted interventions and support.
