Summary

Two Rivers PCS - Young Middle School is a small District of Columbia public charter middle school in northeast Washington, DC, serving 224 students in grades 6–8. As part of the Two Rivers PCS network, the school has seen its state ranking slip from a 4-star, 77th-percentile showing in 2022-23 to a 2-star, 40th-percentile ranking in 2025-26. This decline stands out because nearby schools have held steady or improved — Stuart-Hobson Middle School has consistently ranked in the 80th–86th percentile, and Friendship PCS - Blow Pierce Middle, just 0.35 miles away, maintains a 4-star rating.

In 2025-26, proficiency rates were 32.3% in English Language Arts and 15.4% in math — both below state averages of 39.6% and 28.2%. Two Rivers outperforms the lowest-performing nearby schools like KIPP DC - Northeast Academy PCS and Sousa Middle School, but trails several close neighbors including Eliot-Hine Middle School, Friendship PCS - Chamberlain Middle, and DC Prep PCS - Benning Middle School. A bright spot is grade-level progression: 8th-grade ELA proficiency (46.2%) exceeds the state average, and math climbs from 8.3% in 6th grade to 24.7% in 8th grade. The school also reported unusually strong Algebra I End-of-Course results in 2023-24 (43.9% vs. 19.9% statewide), though that figure should be interpreted cautiously given small cohorts.

The most urgent concern is equity. Low socioeconomic status students rank in the 8th percentile statewide, and special education students rank in the 7th percentile — among the weakest subgroup results in the city. Encouragingly, African American student outcomes improved from the 12th to 43rd percentile between 2024-25 and 2025-26. With a low student-teacher ratio of 8.6 and per-student spending of about $26,168, the school is relatively well-resourced, yet nearby Stuart-Hobson achieves dramatically higher proficiency with larger class sizes. Recent year-over-year gains (+6.9 points in ELA, +5.0 in math) offer cautious hope, but the critical question is whether Two Rivers can translate its staffing investment into consistent, equitable growth across all grades and student groups.
