Summary:
The five public schools in zip code 77657, all part of the highly-rated Lumberton Independent School District (Isd), serve students from Pre-Kindergarten through 12th grade in Lumberton, TX, a community where the district ranks in the top 25% of Texas school districts.
Lumberton High School is the standout academic leader, earning a 4-star rating and jumping to the 80th percentile statewide, with strong graduation rates and test scores well above state averages in Biology and English. In contrast, Lumberton Intermediate is the most challenged school, with a 3-star rating and math proficiency rates that fall below state averages. Lumberton Middle excels in advanced math, with 96.3% of 8th graders proficient in Algebra I, creating a powerful academic pipeline that continues into high school. Lumberton Pri and Lumberton Early Childhood School round out the elementary offerings, with the early childhood school facing the highest economic need and largest class sizes in the district.
A key finding is the "math gap" at the elementary level, where students enter middle school with below-average math skills but leave with exceptional ones, pointing to effective intervention at the middle school. Additionally, a notable dip in 7th-grade reading proficiency at Lumberton Middle (44.62%) suggests a need for targeted resources. The high school has shown remarkable year-over-year improvement, driven by significant gains in Algebra I and English I, indicating successful new strategies. Overall, the district offers a strong educational foundation with clear strengths in high school and middle school math, while elementary math and 7th-grade reading remain areas for growth.
