Lumberton Int, Lumberton TX - Test Scores & Data

Original Research by School Decision on Lumberton Int

Lumberton Intermediate serves grades three through five in a mid-sized school setting, with enrollment spread fairly evenly across the three grades. The school's student body is predominantly white, with a smaller Hispanic population and very small representation of other groups. About two in five students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a mix of lower- and moderate-income families in the attendance zone.

On state testing, Lumberton Intermediate shows performance that falls below the midpoint when compared to other districts in Hardin County. In English language arts, results vary by grade: third grade proficiency is around four in ten, fourth grade rises slightly to just above four in ten, and fifth grade shows a marked jump to about half the students meeting or exceeding proficiency. Mathematics performance is more consistent across grades, holding steady at around three to four in ten students meeting or exceeding standards in third and fourth grade, with a modest uptick to about four in ten in fifth grade. The school administered science testing only in fifth grade, where about four in ten students demonstrated proficiency. Across all subjects and grade levels combined, the school meets the state's "meets grade level" standard for about four in ten students overall, with about three in four reaching the lower "approaches grade level" threshold. The gap between approaching and meeting standards suggests that many students are close to proficiency but have not yet crossed that line.

English language learner counts and special education enrollment data were not available, so a parent may want to contact the school directly if support services for these populations are relevant to their family. Participation rates in testing were not reported.

The Lumberton ISD district recently completed a major campus reconfiguration funded by a bond program approved by voters. As part of that work, Lumberton Intermediate received a new wing that includes a multipurpose library and media center, a new cafeteria with a stage, and additional classrooms. This physical expansion reflects district investment in the school's facilities. The district as a whole earned a C rating in the Texas Education Agency's 2025 accountability rankings, while the high school received a B, and the district reports a graduation rate well above the state average. For families looking at intermediate schools in Southeast Texas, the district's recent capital improvements and strong high school outcomes may be relevant context, though the intermediate school's current proficiency levels remain below the county median.

Housing in the area is moderately priced relative to state and national benchmarks, and rental costs are similarly moderate. The local employment picture shows typical economic conditions for the region.

Graduation rate (ACGR) reflects the federally published Adjusted Cohort Graduation Rate for the most recent year available. We refresh this data annually at the close of each academic year in June. The federal source publishes a banded rate (for example, "90-94%") instead of an exact number for cohorts small enough to risk identifying individual students. The state distribution chart, where shown, plots every school in the state with a published rate or band; schools whose rate is federally suppressed are excluded. Where the federal source publishes a band rather than an exact rate, the school is placed within its band using a stable, ID-derived offset, so its position is consistent across visits.
