Summary

Brown Middle in El Paso, TX, is a mid-sized school serving 699 students in grades 6-8 within the El Paso Independent School District (Isd), where about 65% of students are economically disadvantaged.

Brown Middle is a school on the rise, having reversed a recent dip to achieve its best state ranking in years (57th percentile). Its standout strength is advanced math: a remarkable 70% of students taking Algebra I passed, far exceeding the district (51%) and state (54%) averages, and outperforming nearby schools like Charles Middle (56%) and Wiggs Middle (69%). The school also excels at supporting its economically disadvantaged students, ranking in the 66th percentile for this group—a sign of effective, equitable support. While reading scores show a positive trend, with 8th graders surpassing the state average, 6th-grade reading remains a weakness, suggesting students may enter with gaps that the school successfully closes by 8th grade.

Compared to peers, Brown Middle is a solid performer in a challenging context. It operates more efficiently than many, spending $8,935 per student—less than the higher-performing Hornedo Middle ($11,172) or the struggling Magoffin Middle ($10,406)—yet achieves better results than several higher-spending schools. However, the school’s Gifted and Talented program ranks in the 12th percentile, indicating a need to better challenge its highest-achieving students. Overall, Brown Middle is a school that effectively lifts students to proficiency, especially in math, while operating with notable efficiency.
