I'm currently in my last year of TwoRivers middle school, and my experience with the elementary was phenomenal. They were so helpful, understanding, and caring. Please don't listen to any of these other parents they don't know what they're talking about. This school is also one of the only school in D.C. who's middle school actually helps with high school applications.

By far the most disappointing experience weve had.
If this is the standard at the pre-K level, Im genuinely concerned about what the educational experience looks like beyond that. From a Title IV investigation to releasing an age-inappropriate movie list to children during nap time, the issues reflect a lack of oversight and judgment. The former principal appeared unable to manage the role, and the current leadership shows little interest in addressing serious concerns. For families seeking a safe, structured, and developmentally appropriate environment, I strongly recommend looking elsewhere.

My son had seizures a few times at school. Teachers and school staff REFUSED to give him his medication to stop seizure. When I brought this up to the principal, she did not even bother to respond. I made a complain to the charter school Board and was told there was nothing they can do. Both the charter school board and my pediatrician advised me to sue two rivers. My pediatrician and the neurologist both called the school and two rivers still refused to give my son his medication. They put childrens life in danger. They should not be allowed to operate. The only reason I let this go was we had a family death and did not have the mental capacity to deal with two rivers. If they put a childs life in danger and completely did not care, can you imagine they would care about anything else? Child protection service should investigate the school and they should be shut down for this reckless behavior.

Great school for kids to improve their reading and maths as I observed on my friend's children. Parent of future students in the waiting list.

My daughters attended school here last year and we plan on attending all the way to 8th grade. We are a military family and this was their 4th school in 5 years. The staff and parents were welcoming in a way that far exceeded our expectations. I couldn't be happier with the challenging learning environment and how my daughters are thriving at this school!

My daughter attended TR from preK through 5th grade (with 2011 being her last year) and we loved the community there. This school has a real family feeling and I am so glad my child was able to have such a nurturing, supportive elementary school experience. She has moved on to another DC charter middle/high school and I am happy to say so many of the 90's club there (students attaining an average of 90% or more per grading period) are TR alumn!

I am a parent of two TR students who have been in PreSchool (one), PreK (both), K (One), and 1st (One). For Me, the school has been good. After/Before care is contracted out, and quality may vary. (They are changing providers for the 2012-2013 year.) I suspect that parental involvement with the children (eg: reading at home & challenging the kids) is a functional requirement. The school tries to keep the kids with the same teachers for two years at a time (at least at this level). The continuity works out well, with kids knowing who they are with & keeping freinds. As an "Expeditionary Learning" program, the class projects vary. (And are supposed to be "secret" from the parents.) My older child is doing quite well, and tends to either help kids doing "less well" - or reading. My younger child was doing less well, but has come up to grade level in the last year. (It's young, it's fine.) You (The parent) will have to assist with reading & math at home. The school can't do it alone. If you are willing to do that, your kids will probably do well in the school. I just wish they would schedule parent meetings when I can go.
