Summary

Twin Rivers Middle School in Buford, GA, serves 1,669 students in grades 6-8 as part of Gwinnett County Public Schools, and has long been a top performer in the state, though its most recent ranking shows a slight shift from its historical peak.

Twin Rivers continues to shine brightest in advanced coursework. In both 2024-2025 and 2025-2026, 100% of students taking Algebra I and Biology scored proficient or better—far outpacing district and state averages. This places the school at the very top among nearby schools, including North Gwinnett Middle (98.1% in Algebra I) and Osborne Middle (99.7%). In standard grade-level math, the school also outperforms district and state averages at every grade, with 8th grade math proficiency at 70.4% versus 46.3% statewide. The school has also made remarkable progress reducing chronic absenteeism, cutting the rate from 13.5% to 8.2% in two years—roughly half the state average. Additionally, Twin Rivers earns high marks for supporting English Language Learners (89th percentile statewide) and Special Education students (88th percentile), and it ranks in the 91st percentile for African American student performance.

The school’s overall ranking dipped from the 90th percentile (5-star) to the 81st percentile (4-star) in 2025-2026, but this does not reflect a drop in absolute scores—several subjects actually improved. Instead, it appears tied to a rising economically disadvantaged population (now 58.4% free/reduced lunch) and shifts in how the school compares to peers. While Buford Middle (98th percentile) and North Gwinnett Middle (97th percentile) remain elite, Twin Rivers still outperforms Moore Middle (30th percentile) and Jordan Middle (63rd percentile) by wide margins. Given its demographic context, Twin Rivers achieves results comparable to schools with far more affluent populations, making it a strong, resilient choice for families.
