Hi, I am a junior in high school currently running 4:06 for the mile and trying to see if I have a shot at breaking my school’s 1500 record next year. The record is 3:50.84 set in 2002, which I know would be a low D1 time nowadays and is certainly fast for high school but am not exactly sure how fast 3:50 high is/was considered. Could someone explain it a bit?
Well, it's faster than Paavo Nurmi ever ran, and he's considered the sports greatest pioneer. Also faster than almost any woman ever, so it's definitely fast. It's not national champ caliber however, and still quite a ways off from Hobbs 3:34 high school record. Good time to be proud of, but not one to be cocky about

3:50.84 converts to 4:09.3 for the mile
Also rounding up to 4:07.00, that pace is the same as 3:50.2 pace for 1500m.

It's virtually equivalent to a 4:09 mile. Obviously it's a male time for you, but world athletics has it at 4:08.53 for women and 4:09.10 for men (i.e. a 3:50.84 1500 is worth the same amount of points as a 4:09.10 mile)

4:06 mile is superior to 3:50.84 1500 meters
World Athletics gives 1002 points for a 4:06.00 male mile and 966 for a 3:50.84 male 1500.
To everyone saying 3:50 equals 4:09 mile it doesn't. It equals 4:07. (When it's this low that's a big difference) only because he's averaging about 15.3-4 seconds per 100m. Add another 9 meters which is like 1.5 puts that at 4:07 mile. Since you're at 4:06 you're right there and probably have the record with a good race. If you meant 4:06 1600 well then it's kinda 4:07 for a mile but by that point it doesn't affect you that much. So ya you should have the record. GL and honestly since you're a junior sub 4 next yr isn't out of the realm of possibilities so you'd be a legend if you did that.

Mile divided by 1.08, you have to use a linear factor

Pretty sure 4:06 and 3:50 aren’t far from equivalent and a 4:06 edges out 3:50. If you want that record it’s yours. Not gonna pull out the conversion calculator rn but a 3:42 is worth about a 3:59/4:00, so if you ran 3:49 it would be about a 4:07.
