Summary

Dyersburg Middle School serves 574 students in grades 6–8 in Dyersburg, Tennessee, as part of the Dyersburg City Schools district, which carries a 3-star rating and ranks 59th of 141 districts statewide. The school currently sits at the 63rd percentile (219th of 594 middle schools), down from a high of 83rd percentile in 2018–2019, but remains solidly in the top half of the state. Its academic profile is mixed: math is a clear strength (47.8% proficient vs. 43% statewide), while English Language Arts is a notable weakness (35.9% vs. 40.6%). Science (42.8%) trails the state slightly, and social studies (52.3%) edges past it. The school spends generously at $13,452 per student and maintains a favorable 13.2:1 student-teacher ratio.

Compared with nearby schools, Dyersburg Middle is a mid-tier performer. Its math proficiency (47.8%) exceeds Crockett County Middle School (42.7%) and Lara Kendall Elementary School (17.6%) but trails Northview Middle School (53.5%) and roughly matches Three Oaks Middle School (48.1%). In ELA, Dyersburg’s 35.9% proficiency falls below both Dyer County schools—Northview (43.0%) and Three Oaks (38.7%)—as well as the state average, though it beats Crockett (30.4%), Halls Junior High School (31.2%), and Lara (19.3%). Chronic absenteeism is a bright spot at 12.8%, well under the state's 18.3%, though Northview (8.7%), Three Oaks (9.4%), and Crockett (10.1%) all do better.

The school’s advanced math program is a standout: Algebra I students posted a remarkable 94.4% proficiency rate in 2023–2024, compared to just 27.5% statewide. However, special education results fell sharply from the 43rd to the 15th percentile in a single year, and grade-level data shows 6th-grade science and 8th-grade ELA are the weakest areas. Nearby Dyer County Schools—which operates Northview and Three Oaks—ranks 19th statewide (87th percentile) and outperforms Dyersburg in nearly every subject, suggesting district-level strategies may make a difference. For parents, Dyersburg Middle offers strong math instruction, solid attendance, and generous per-pupil spending, but literacy support and special education services are worth a closer look.
