Summary

Brown B Mahlon Junior High School is a public middle school in Henderson, Nevada, serving grades 6–8 with 783 students as part of the Clark County school district. In 2025–26 it ranked 109th of 148 Nevada middle schools — the 26th percentile, or 1 star — well below the district's overall standing of 5th of 12 in the state. That low rank caps a long slide from 3 stars and roughly the 51st–54th percentile around 2015–2018 down to 2 stars in recent years. All students (100%) were eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in 2022–23 through 2024–25.

Academically, math is the clearest weakness. In 2025–26, 15.3% of students were proficient in math (district 33.8%, state 36.2%), 35.0% in reading (district 43.3%, state 45.2%), and 25.3% in science (district 23.5%, state 25.5%). Reading and science held up better, but all three subjects fell from the prior year, and 8th-grade math was lowest at 12.1%. Nearby schools with similar poverty show what's possible: Mannion Jack & Terry Middle School, Miller Bob Middle School, Webb Del E Middle School, and White Thurman Academy of the Arts Middle School also serve 100% free/reduced-lunch students yet reach roughly 45–65% proficiency in math and reading while spending about $11,000 per student and running larger classes. Burkholder Lyal Academy of Environmental Science, 2.59 miles away, has a similar resource profile to Brown but posts 37.2% math, 57.1% reading, and 39.3% science.

Attendance is the standout non-academic concern: 36.6% of Brown students were chronically absent in 2025–26, versus 27.0% district-wide and 25.5% statewide, and roughly double the 15.8–18.7% seen at higher-performing neighbors. Brown is comparatively well resourced — $15,346 per student in 2023–24 and a student–teacher ratio of 15.3 — so money and class size alone aren't translating into results. The clearest priorities for families to watch are math instruction, 8th-grade support, and attendance.

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
