Brown Middle

Summary:

Brown Middle is a public middle school in El Paso, Texas, serving 718 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the El Paso Independent School District, which is ranked 610 out of 968 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Brown Middle has a significantly higher Hispanic student population (91.92%) compared to the state average. While the school's reading proficiency rates are generally higher than the district and state, their math proficiency, particularly in 8th grade, lags behind. Interestingly, Brown Middle's performance on the STAAR EOC Algebra I exam is stronger, with proficiency rates exceeding the district and state. The school's African American and White student subgroups perform relatively well, but the Gifted and Talented, English Learner, and Special Education subgroups perform poorly. Brown Middle maintains relatively low dropout rates, ranging from 0.4% to 1.0% over the past 5 years, which is better than the nearby schools.

Compared to other local middle schools, Brown Middle outperforms some, such as Magoffin Middle and Charles Middle, but lags behind the higher-performing Hornedo Middle, which is also part of the El Paso ISD. The school's high percentage of economically disadvantaged students (over 67%) may be a contributing factor to their academic challenges, and addressing equity and ensuring all students have access to high-quality education should be a priority for Brown Middle.

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.
