Summary

Lumberton High School is a public high school in Lumberton, Mississippi, serving grades 7-12 with a total enrollment of 277 students. It is part of the Lamar County School District, which is ranked 24th out of 130 school districts in the state and has a 4-star rating.

Academically, Lumberton High School's performance, as measured by standardized test scores, is generally lower than the district and state averages. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates in MAAP (Mississippi Academic Assessment Program) subjects like English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science were significantly below the Lamar County School District and Mississippi state averages. However, the school's four-year graduation rates have been relatively stable, ranging from 82.4% to 90.0% over the past few years, which is comparable to the district and state averages.

Lumberton High School faces some unique challenges, including higher chronic absenteeism rates compared to the district and state, ranging from 18.1% to 32.2% in recent years. Additionally, the school has a very high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 73.65% to 98.85% in the past few years, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. When compared to nearby schools like Forrest County Agricultural High School and Purvis High School, Lumberton High School generally performs worse academically, with lower proficiency rates in core subjects, but has a lower student-teacher ratio, which could be a potential strength.
