Lumberton Middle stands out for its strong academic performance, with STAAR test scores generally higher than state and district averages, particularly in reading and Algebra I. The school's Gifted and Talented program is also highly ranked, placing in the top 10% of Texas middle schools in this category for the past three years.

While Lumberton Middle's overall performance is strong, there are some areas for improvement, such as addressing racial disparities in student outcomes. The school has a significantly higher percentage of white students (83.69%) compared to nearby schools, and the rankings for white and Hispanic students are generally higher than for African American and English Language Learner students. Additionally, Lumberton Middle has a lower percentage of free and reduced-lunch recipients (35.09%) compared to nearby schools, which may contribute to its stronger academic performance. However, the nearby Kountze Middle and Evadale J.H. also demonstrate strong academic performance, suggesting that Lumberton Middle is part of a region with relatively high-performing middle schools.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

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.
