We all hope that when we place our trust in a school -- especially one entrusted with the care of children -- that our child's well-being will truly matter. As many families in the community already know, Brown Middle School has struggled with ongoing bullying issues that do not seem to be meaningfully resolved. I'm sure many students have a positive experience there. But if your child does not easily fit into the category of "most kids," I genuinely encourage you to proceed with caution and advocate early and often. Our experience left us feeling unheard, unsupported, and emotionally exhausted. And with the district already facing significant budget issues and anticipated staffing cuts next year, I worry deeply about how students who need additional support will be affected moving forward. read more

Ended up selling a box of chocolates to one of the admins of student education at Brown Middle school and she showed us around campus after school. This is one of the best things about El Paso...the community cares and takes the time to show what makes them proud of their city! I loved that my kids saw how much the campuses supports each other since we were selling for Tippin Elementary. The Brown campus is big! The shape is like an airplane and it's 2 stories, they have a huge awesome cafeteria decorated in my opinion like Simpsons land with cute fronts and diner style booths. They have a large gym with volleyball at the moment utilizing it and a CrossFit program! The most impressive to me was the STEM program in the new tech hall. They have group classes and a fab lab with Lego robotics and several 3D print labs. This is definitely a school that invests in their students future. It's also the only EPISD STEM certified middle school (6-8 grades) that enables them to earn college credits. They also have the program in dual language as well. We are definitely happy that this is another great option for our kiddos and had no idea that all this exists since we just started our schooling journey. So glad our tax dollars show up in the state of the art classes and curriculum. And it all started with a box of chocolates..."you never know what you're gonna get". read more

I attended Brown for the last month of my 7th grade year. I ended up leaving a private school in the last month of school because I felt I wasn't learning and so I ended up at Brown due to it being our school in the district. Over all, I had a good experience considering I was there for such a short period of time. They were able to help me and test me to see where I needed help since the private school I came from was so behind on math and science. They then worked with Hornedo to make sure the next year I would be caught up so I would do well in high school! Just hoping they fixed the sewage issue, as that was a very big problem and made the entire school smell. read more
