Elementary Schools in Two Rivers PCS

The Two Rivers PCS district in Washington, D.C. operates two elementary schools serving students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. The two schools, Two Rivers PCS - 4th Street and Two Rivers PCS - Young Elementary School, have shown mixed performance, with both schools ranking in the middle of D.C. elementary schools but experiencing declines in their statewide rankings over the past three years.

While both schools have a diverse student population, with significant percentages of African American and White students, they have struggled to match the district average in English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency. Two Rivers PCS - 4th Street stands out for outperforming the district average in 3rd grade ELA and Mathematics, while Two Rivers PCS - Young Elementary School has higher 4th grade ELA proficiency. However, both schools have seen their statewide rankings decline, suggesting they may be facing challenges in keeping up with the performance of other D.C. elementary schools.

Despite the similar spending per student and student-teacher ratios at the two schools, their academic performance varies, indicating that factors beyond just funding may be influencing their outcomes. The Two Rivers PCS district and school leaders will need to closely examine the factors contributing to the schools' performance and implement targeted strategies to address any areas of concern, ensuring that all students in the district receive a high-quality education.
