School Reviews

TR has two nice buildings, though without gyms or libraries. But shiny buildings do not make a great school.
The reality is the quality of education is below average. Every year, the teachers in my kids’ classrooms were new; not just new to TR but new to teaching. Many teachers learn on the job and basic reading and math instruction lose valuable time to the teachers' own learning curves.
We moved out of D.C. and learned the reading and math skills that met Two Rivers standards were a full grade behind the standards in our public new school system. My kids were unprepared for the grade they were ENTERING, their skills considered par for BEGINNING the grade that they had JUST COMPLETED at TR.
Two Rivers' definitions of success are low, many teaches are in over their heads, and the school’s leadership isn’t open to making changes for improvement.
