Summary

Brown Middle is a public middle school located in El Paso, Texas, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 712 students. It is part of the El Paso Independent School District (EPISD), which is ranked 543 out of 961 school districts in Texas and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Brown Middle has shown inconsistent academic performance, with its statewide ranking ranging from 875 out of 2,080 Texas middle schools in 2017-2018 to 1,443 out of 2,361 in 2023-2024. In the 2024-2025 school year, Brown Middle's performance is projected to be above the district and state averages in 8th grade Reading and Algebra I, but it lags behind in 6th and 7th grade Mathematics. The school's performance for English Language Learners and Special Education students has been particularly concerning, with rankings in the bottom quartile of Texas middle schools in recent years.

Compared to nearby schools, Hornedo Middle consistently outperforms Brown Middle, while other schools like Magoffin Middle, Charles Middle, and Cpt Gabriel Navarrete Middle have lower academic performance and rankings. The high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds at Brown Middle may contribute to the school's academic challenges, and the inconsistent performance across student subgroups suggests the need for more targeted interventions and support.
