As a current student involved with many different programs offered at Dyer County, I would not recommend the school. Although the academic programs a superb, there is an "unequal" balance between extracurricular activities and favoritism among students. While most teachers are fair and balanced, there are still some who are there for there paycheck and not to help the students. There is a wide variety of extracurricular activities, but they are not supported equally. Football, Basketball, and Baseball get 90% of the support and the rest recieves the tale end. Band, JROTC, and The Arts recieve least. The band has been in desperate need of an assistant director and several instruments that cannot be purchased through the band funding. The constant answer is always, "it's not in the budget", while some how it is in the budget to have 8 football coaches, 5 basketball coaches, and 4 baseball coaches. A student would love this school if they were mainly in to sports, but not if they enjoy the arts. Would I recommend this school: academically, yes; as far as the faculty or balance of extracurricular activities, no.
