Brown B Mahlon Junior High School

Summary:

Brown B Mahlon Junior High School is a public magnet middle school located in Henderson, Nevada, serving 804 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Clark County School District, which is the 7th ranked district out of 13 in Nevada and is rated 3 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Over the past 10 years, Brown B Mahlon's statewide ranking has fluctuated between 23rd and 96th out of all Nevada middle schools, and its rating has varied between 2 and 4 stars out of 5. In recent years, the school has been ranked in the bottom half of Nevada middle schools and has a 2-star rating. The school's academic performance, as measured by SBAC test scores, is generally below the Clark County and Nevada averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's proficiency rates in mathematics (18.9%) and reading (34.6%) for all grades are significantly lower than the county (30.1% and 39.3%) and state (32.6% and 41.3%) averages.

When compared to nearby schools in the same district, such as Webb Del E Middle School and Mannion Jack & Terry Middle School, Brown B Mahlon generally underperforms, with significantly higher SBAC proficiency rates and statewide rankings. The school's high-poverty student population, with a 100% free and reduced-price lunch rate, and its relatively high per-student spending of $11,266 in 2021-2022 suggest that addressing the underlying challenges may be crucial for improving educational outcomes and providing a more equitable learning environment for all students.

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.

Open Quote The staff is inconsiderate and rude. It is no wonder children do not want to report any incidents to them. Their comments on no bullying is a joke!

Mr Lowrey (music teacher) is one of the best teachers I have known as a side note. Close Quote

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.
