Summary:
Zip code 08048 has three schools: Bobby’s Run Elementary School and Ashbrook Elementary School, plus Lumberton Middle School. The supplied test results cover grades 3–5 at Bobby’s Run and grades 6–8 at Lumberton Middle; no test results are provided for Ashbrook. Because the schools’ tested grades differ and Ashbrook has no supplied scores, the data do not support a fair overall ranking. The clearest takeaway is that Lumberton Middle’s perfect Algebra I results stand out, while Bobby’s Run’s math results—especially in grade 5—are the main concern.
Against state benchmarks, Lumberton Middle has the area’s strongest standout: 100% of students were proficient in Algebra I in both reported years, 60 percentage points above the state for the end-of-course result and 26 points above for grade 8 Algebra I in 2025–2026. Its grade 8 math result was also 15 points above state, though its grade 6 and 7 math results fell short. Bobby’s Run was close to state in ELA overall, but its grade 5 math proficiency was 36%, 9 points below the state rate. Ashbrook’s achievement cannot be assessed from the supplied test data.
