Summary

Two Rivers PCS - Young Elementary School is a public charter school in Northeast Washington, DC, serving 407 students in grades PK–5 as part of the Two Rivers PCS network. The school sits near the middle of DC elementary schools, ranking 68th out of 124 in 2025–2026 — a noticeable drop from the 4-star ratings it earned in 2021–2022 and 2022–2023.

Where this school really stands out is math. In 2025–2026, 25.5% of students scored proficient in math — close to the DC state average and well above many nearby schools like Miner Elementary School (6.0%), Wheatley Education Campus (8.0%), Browne Education Campus (8.2%), and Center City PCS – Capitol Hill (10.3%). Third-grade math is especially strong at 42.8%, beating both district and state averages. Science is another bright spot, with 15.91% proficiency on the 5th-grade DC Science assessment — above the district and second among nearby schools only to Maury Elementary School. The school also does more with less, spending $26,168 per student compared with J.O. Wilson Elementary School at $42,330 and Miner Elementary School at $40,196, while still posting better test results than many of those higher-spending schools.

At the same time, there are real challenges. English language arts proficiency is 26.3%, below both the district (30.4%) and state (39.6%) averages. And while 3rd-grade math is a clear strength, proficiency falls sharply by 5th grade — from 42.8% in 3rd grade to just 15.4% in 5th. The school also faces equity concerns: its most vulnerable student groups have seen their statewide rankings drop dramatically since the school's 4-star peak. In a neighborhood of extremes — Maury Elementary School posts 80.6% proficiency while Miner Elementary School posts just 5.4% in ELA — Two Rivers–Young is a solid middle-ground option with genuine strengths in math and science, but families should be aware of the gaps in upper-elementary performance and among the school's most vulnerable students.
