Summary

Lumberton Middle in Lumberton, TX, serves 918 students in grades 6-8 and is part of the Lumberton Independent School District (Isd), a district ranked in the 75th percentile statewide. While the school has a strong history of 4-star ratings, it has recently slipped to a 3-star rating for the 2023-2024 through 2025-2026 school years, signaling a period of transition. Despite this overall decline, Lumberton Middle excels in specific areas, particularly in advanced mathematics, where 96.3% of students taking the Algebra I End-of-Course exam were proficient—far exceeding the state average of 54.03% and outperforming nearby schools like Vidor J H (92.31%) and Hardin-Jefferson J H (96.88%).

The school shows a stark contrast in its effectiveness with different student groups. Its Gifted and Talented program is elite, ranking in the 96th percentile statewide with a 5-star rating, a consistent strength over the past three years. However, performance for White students has declined to the 33rd percentile (2 stars), a key area for improvement. On a positive note, the school has made a dramatic turnaround with its English Language Learner (ELL) students, jumping from the 19th percentile to the 78th percentile (4 stars) in the latest data. Additionally, Lumberton Middle maintains an exceptionally low dropout rate of 0.2%, lower than the district average and significantly better than schools like Smith Middle (3.4%) and Kountze Middle (1.3%).

When compared to nearby schools, Lumberton Middle sits in a competitive middle tier alongside Vidor J H and Kountze Middle, while top-tier competitors like Evadale J H and Hardin-Jefferson J H consistently outperform it in several core subjects. The school also demonstrates strong efficiency, spending $8,640 per student—less than many higher-spending but lower-performing schools in the region, such as those in the Beaumont Independent School District (Isd). This efficiency, combined with its standout Algebra I program and low dropout rate, makes Lumberton Middle a solid choice for families, though parents should be aware of the recent overall decline and the need for improvement in supporting all student groups.
