Lumberton Township Board of Education

The Lumberton Township Board of Education has three schools serving prekindergarten through grade 8, with 1,184 students: Ashbrook Elementary serves PK–1, Bobby’s Run Elementary serves grades 2–5, and Lumberton Middle serves grades 6–8. In 2025–2026, the supplied school-grade averages were below matching state results by 2 percentage points in ELA, 2 in math, and 1 in science. The clearest standout is Lumberton Middle’s Algebra I result: 100% proficient, compared with 40% statewide in the End-of-Course category.

Lumberton Middle has the strongest individual results in the data: Algebra I proficiency was 100% in both reported years, and its 2025–2026 grade 8 math result was 37% versus 23% statewide, a 15-point advantage; grade 8 ELA was 56% versus 53%. Its results are not uniformly above state levels, however: grade 7 ELA was 9 points below state, and grade 7 math was 6 points below. Bobby’s Run was below state math results in all three tested grades, with the largest gap in grade 5 at 9 points. Its ELA was closer to state levels, including grade 5 at 50% versus 52%. Ashbrook has no supplied test scores, so it cannot be compared on achievement; the different grade spans also mean there is no fair overall school-to-school winner.

Results have improved in some areas: Bobby’s Run grade 5 ELA rose 12 points from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, while Lumberton Middle ELA increased in all three grades, lifting its average by 8 points. SchoolDigger’s reported percentile rose from 30 to 45 for Bobby’s Run and from 35 to 53 for Lumberton Middle between 2023–2024 and 2025–2026; the school records also show two stars and a district standing of 361 of 607. For context, 2024–2025 free/reduced lunch eligible figures were 36% at Bobby’s Run, 32% at Lumberton Middle, and 30% at Ashbrook; student-teacher ratios were 13.2, 10.5, and 11.9, respectively. These are descriptive context, not evidence of what caused score differences.
