Summary:
The city of Lumberton, New Jersey is home to three schools: two elementary schools (Bobby's Run Elementary School and Ashbrook Elementary School) and one middle school (Lumberton Middle School). While the schools share some common challenges, such as high chronic absenteeism rates, they also have distinct strengths and weaknesses that parents should consider.
Lumberton Middle School stands out for its exceptional performance on Algebra I assessments, with 100% of students proficient or better, far exceeding the state average. However, the school struggles in other math subjects, with proficiency rates well below the state average. In contrast, Bobby's Run Elementary School has relatively strong performance in 4th grade English Language Arts, but its 5th grade science proficiency rate is lower than the state average.
Despite these individual strengths, the overall performance of the schools in the Lumberton Township Board of Education district is consistently below the state averages, with all three schools ranked in the bottom half of their respective school types in New Jersey. The district-wide challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates and low proficiency in math and science, suggest a need for comprehensive improvement efforts to ensure all students in Lumberton receive a high-quality education.
