I feel confident that Two Rivers School staff is equipped with a well qualified and patient staff who has the ability to deal with students who are not always in the top five of their class. The tutoring program at two rivers has great reviews also, I'm hoping for the best from it for my son. I'm very excited to be member of the Two Rivers Charter School Family!
Two Rivers' students are on an expedition to learn about life, themselves, and the world around them. It's a school where my daughter will be challenged and have fun learning for years to come!
I agree with previous posters who wrote that the school is great in some areas, poor in others. Our child's education in the early grades was quite adequate. Expeditions integrate various subjects like math and social studies. Arts curriculum is a plus. Some of the teachers are stellar. But . . . We were unhappy with the school leadership's response to an increase in bullying and a lack of challenge that our child experienced last year. After a lot of consideration, we left the school and have had no regrets. Bottom line: I recommend Two Rivers for the early grades, and there are a few great teachers in the middle and upper grades; however, the school administration needs to take a proactive approach to addressing social and academic issues that derail many schools in the middle school years.
Two Rivers Public Charter School is a great school with a devoted community of educators, students and involved parents.
Two Rivers Public Charter School is an extended family where parents and students know each other and care for each other. Everybody (staff, students, teachers, and parents) work together to find what is good for the students.
The staff is committed to helping all students succeed in an extremely challenging environment. Staff coninuously challenge themselves to find new ways to meet the diverse needs of their students.
Great teachers (2 in each room), Great school (new buildings), Great parents (constructively involved). Teaching style adapted to students' needs and encouraging. 'Expeditions' focus on a topic for a semester and incorporate reading, writing, math, social studies, art, drama, music and field trips.
Thoughtful leadership, committed and responsive teachers, close-knit community, and a whole school dedicated to what is best for whole children, not just to test scores.
Two Rivers has caring, dedicated and skilled staff. This school recognizes the need for creative arts programs to produce well rounded and educated students.
Extraordinary learning community with devoted teachers and staff led by a strong sense of compassion and purpose
Parent, teachers and children enjoying learning through activity and experience, instead of one way communication.
Two Rivers is an excellent school that uses expeditionary learning to give real world dimensions to classroom abstractions. The school is having good results teaching leadership and citizenship to low-income students. The diverse student group is good preparation the world these students will live in.
Two Rivers has impressed me this year by tackling issues immediately, for example, stats showed that the reason the school missed the mark by a hair on test scores was because the tutoring was offered after school and most of the kids who needed to be tutored could not get back to school at 5 or 6 pm. Two Rivers making tutoring available during the school day to address this issue. that is reacting in a timely way!
