Summary

Two Rivers PCS - Young Middle School is a public charter middle school in Washington, DC, serving 254 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Two Rivers PCS district, which is ranked 23 out of 46 districts in DC and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Two Rivers PCS - Young Middle School was previously ranked 16th out of 69 DC middle schools in 2022-2023, its statewide ranking has since declined to 44th out of 69 in 2024-2025. The school's academic performance on standardized tests is below the District of Columbia and state averages, with only 25.4% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and just 10.4% proficient in Mathematics, compared to state averages of 37.6% and 26.4%, respectively. The school's struggles are particularly pronounced for certain student subgroups, such as African American students and those from low socioeconomic backgrounds.

Compared to nearby high-performing schools like Stuart-Hobson Middle School (Capitol Hill Cluster) and Friendship PCS - Woodridge International Middle, which consistently rank among the top 20 middle schools in DC, Two Rivers PCS - Young Middle School's academic performance is significantly lower. However, the school's challenges may be reflective of broader issues in the local education system, as some nearby schools, such as Sousa Middle School and McKinley Middle School, also struggle with low academic achievement.
