GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I had a very positive high school experience at Dyer County High School. I feel prepared to begin my college education.

With this school you get a relatively good education but they prioritize sports and testing over any other activity or the well being of their students and this school has very poor administration.

At the time, I thought I was miserable, but as my sister went through the school I realized I had a much easier time through DCHS.

I'm a senior at DCHS, and I'm new to Tennessee, but I already made friends that are like family. It's a very family friendly atmosphere and an excellent learning environment.
