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.
At Dyer County High School, there are many opportunities to join organizations such as HOSA and FFA that are just as important to the school culture as major sports. While the school is home to diverse sports teams from our coed cheer team to our trapshooting team, there are also other outlets in which students can get involved in the arts and other media through the journalism and art club. There are also various leadership opportunities for student, however, something I would change about the school would be increasing the input that the student council has on school-wide issues. The school also pushes for college and career readiness, which is reflected in our test scores. Overall, with abundant ACT prep and various form of workforce preparation, the school excels in preparing its students for life after high school.
In my opinion, the learning environment is satisfactory. The building and design is more welcoming than others giving it a positive atmosphere. For the most part, teachers and staff are willing to cooperate with student needs and attempt to offer the best resources in preparation for college. However, I must admit there are a few exceptions. Regardless of what school and the location, there are always teachers that unfortunately do not take their career as seriously as it should be taken. This subsequently leads to overall difficulty learning whatever material is required to learn in such classes. Aside from perhaps a handful of teachers who stray from priorities, this high school is a very neat and organized school.
