While the school's proficiency rates on the TNReady assessments are generally below the district and state averages in Mathematics, English Language Arts, and Science, it has outperformed the state average in Mathematics for grades 3-5 in the 2023-2024 school year and in other subject areas in the 2022-2023 school year.
The data does not provide specific information on the school's free and reduced-price lunch rates, but its per-student spending for the 2020-2021 school year was $9,469, and it has a student-teacher ratio of 14.2 for the 2022-2023 school year. These factors, along with the school's fluctuating academic performance, suggest that Dyer Elementary may be facing challenges in maintaining consistent academic achievement and addressing potential equity and access issues within its student population.
