Two Rivers Middle

Summary:

Two Rivers Middle is a public middle school located in Nashville, Tennessee, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 266 students. The school is part of the Davidson County school district, which is ranked 122 out of 139 districts in Tennessee and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Two Rivers Middle has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-15% of Tennessee middle schools, with a statewide ranking between 491-546 out of 580-594 schools over the past several years. The school's performance on state assessments (TNReady) is significantly below the Davidson County and Tennessee averages across all subject areas and grade levels. The school's diverse student population, with a higher percentage of African American (40.6%) and Hispanic (30.45%) students compared to the state average, may present unique challenges that the school has not been able to effectively address. Two Rivers Middle struggles to serve its subgroups effectively, ranking in the bottom 10-15% of Tennessee middle schools for African American, Hispanic, and low socioeconomic status students.

Despite the relatively high per-student spending of around $13,500, which is higher than the state average, Two Rivers Middle has not seen significant improvement in academic outcomes over the years. When compared to other nearby middle schools in the Davidson County district, such as Isaac Litton Middle and DuPont Hadley Middle, which serve similar demographic populations, Two Rivers Middle consistently underperforms on state assessments and has a lower statewide ranking.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
