Summary

Dyersburg Intermediate School is a grades 3–5 elementary center in Dyersburg, TN, serving 587 students in the Dyersburg City Schools district.

The school has had a bumpy ride over the past decade, but the current trend is encouraging. After two straight years at the 31st percentile, Dyersburg Intermediate rebounded to the 42nd percentile statewide (595th of 1,019 elementary schools) for 2025–26. Proficiency rates improved in every subject since 2022–23: math rose from 38.1% to 45.4%, English language arts from 32.4% to 41.4%, and science from 26.5% to 33.8%. ELA now sits slightly above the state average (41.4% vs. 40.6%). Science remains the biggest academic concern — at 33.8%, it trails the state by roughly 13 points and the district's 38.2% as well.

Attendance is a genuine bright spot. Chronic absenteeism at Dyersburg Intermediate was just 10.6% in 2024–25, far better than the state's 18.3% and the district's 13.9%. Students are showing up, which means the gaps are about instruction, not attendance. There's also a striking grade-level pattern: 5th graders outperform the state in science (50.6% vs. 46.5%), while 3rd and 4th graders lag well behind (22.6% and 28.0%). The school clearly has the ability to teach science effectively at the upper grades. Meanwhile, nearby Dyer County Schools — like Holice Powell Elementary (87th percentile) and Fifth Consolidated School (84th percentile) — outperform Dyersburg Intermediate by 15 to 45 points in math and science, even though Dyersburg spends more per student ($14,180) than several of those schools.

The news for student subgroups is mostly positive. Hispanic students jumped to the 77th percentile, African American students to the 45th percentile, and low-income students to the 46th percentile. The glaring exception is special education: those students sit at the 13th percentile statewide — the clearest equity gap in the school. Overall, the broad-based gains across subjects and subgroups point to real, systematic improvement rather than a one-year fluke. If the trend continues, Dyersburg Intermediate could reach the 50th–60th percentile range within a few years.
