Summary

Two Rivers Middle is a public middle school in Nashville, Tennessee, serving 244 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Davidson County school district, which is ranked 122 out of 139 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Two Rivers Middle has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Tennessee middle schools over the past several years.

Academically, Two Rivers Middle underperforms compared to the Davidson County and Tennessee averages across all subject areas and grade levels on the TNReady assessments. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 17.8% of students were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to 31.9% for Davidson County and 42.2% for the state. The school's performance is particularly low in English Language Arts, with only 9.9% of students proficient or better. Additionally, Two Rivers Middle has had high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 18.9% to 34.6% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state average.

While the nearby schools in the Davidson County district, such as Jere Baxter Middle, Isaac Litton Middle, and DuPont Tyler Middle, also struggle academically, some schools like Meigs Middle and Liberty Collegiate Academy are able to achieve much higher academic performance. This suggests that factors beyond just district-level resources and policies may be contributing to the poor performance of Two Rivers Middle and its nearby counterparts.
