The History of Lumberton ISD
In 1957, the Loeb Common School District and Chance Common School District consolidated to form Chance-Loeb School District, to serve area students in the first through eighth grades. High school students attended either Silsbee or Kountze High School with tuition. The Chance-Loeb School District became Lumberton ISD in 1967.
