Summary:
The city of Lumberton, Texas is home to 5 schools that serve students from early childhood through high school. The district includes Lumberton High School, 3 elementary schools (Lumberton Intermediate, Lumberton Pri, and Lumberton Early Childhood School), and Lumberton Middle School. The Lumberton Independent School District serves this community.
Lumberton High School stands out as the top-performing school in the district, consistently ranking in the top half of Texas high schools with a 4-star rating. The school boasts an impressive 96.8% 4-year graduation rate and a very low 0.2% dropout rate. Lumberton High School also excels on STAAR end-of-course exams, particularly in Biology, English II, and U.S. History. In contrast, the middle and elementary schools in the district struggle more with academic performance, especially in Mathematics, an area the district may want to focus on improving.
Across the district, the schools have relatively high free/reduced lunch rates, ranging from 32.12% at Lumberton High School to 51.2% at Lumberton Early Childhood School. This indicates a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, which may require the district to allocate additional resources and support to ensure these students have the necessary tools to succeed. The district also maintains relatively low student-teacher ratios, ranging from 14.3 to 16.0, suggesting a focus on smaller class sizes, though the district may want to examine how this investment is translating to academic performance.
