It is a good school for those whose get into honors, AP/DE, and DE classes which provide a great learning experience. However lower level classes have little to no academic challenge.
There are also teaches that overwork their students over unimportant classes that teach little and rely on programs rather than teaching the class. These include college readiness and act prep classes.
While there are many clubs ranging from H.OS.A , AG, Army JROTC, drama and many sports. The clubs get very little finical support and they have to use fundraisers to fund most actives.
Overall there are problems if you don't get into higher classes and there are problems in club funding. The school itself is rated 5 out of 5 by the state. and this is accounted for by the use of Chromebooks that support the students before and especially through the pandemic.

I loved Dyer County High School. It was a very clean, very welcoming school with a wonderful administration and staff to help our student body. The teachers are willing to talk and help the students, and I couldn't ask for better teachers. Our principal is someone we can rely on and trust, and she always makes sure we are enjoying our time here at DCHS. Our student body is amazing as well, with everyone being inclusive in sports and other extracurricular activities, and everyone treats each other with the utmost respect.
Dyer County High School is one of the best schools, and that's not just my opinion. Last year, we were ranked a tier 5 school due to our test scores. My school offers a variety of clubs and other extra curricular programs that are all inclusive. Not only are the clubs amazing, but so are our sports teams. We always make it to state regionals for our football team, our volleyball is currently in regionals, and our Co-Ed cheer team is infamous for their dedication and impressive choreography. There are so many of us in this school and during the current pandemic we are taking extensive precautions in order to ensure the safety of the students. The teachers and administrators go out of there way to implement the "No Child Left Behind" act, which is why the graduation rate of our beloved school is above 90%. I love my school and they truly go above and beyond in every aspect. I've lived all over west Tennessee and Dyer County High School is by far the best I've attended.
