Lumberton High School stands out for its diverse student population, with a higher percentage of African American students (39.08%) compared to nearby schools like Forrest County Agricultural High School and Purvis High School. However, the school's test scores, as measured by the MAAP, are generally lower than the district and state averages, particularly in 7th and 8th grade English Language Arts and Mathematics. Additionally, Lumberton High School has an exceptionally high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 98.17% to 98.85% over the past three school years, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Despite these challenges, Lumberton High School's spending per student for the 2018-2019 school year was $17,842, significantly higher than the nearby schools, such as Forrest County Agricultural High School ($9,614) and Purvis High School ($10,780). The school also has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 8.8 to 9.1 over the past three school years, which could be an opportunity to provide more personalized attention and support to students.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
