Dyer Street Elementary School

Outstanding teachers ,and staff . I found the principle to be very professional actually, she was straight forward and honest and told my child exactly what he needed to hear to get himself into gear. (She told him to clean up his act academically because he has a lot of potential,she made him realize that a mind is a terrible thing to waste) The office workers were kind and professional despite being busy and overall I think it's one of the best elementary schools in the area.

I'm not very empressed by the school. The principle makes up her own rules and enforces them without alerting the parents and students of policy changes. Total lack of communication. In addition, parents are not invited to Trophy ceremonies if the "principle feels that too many parents will come". The parents work just as hard pushing, and motivating the students at home, and should be invited. Last I knew- an overwelming attendance of parents was a good sign.. Changes that need to be made: Better communication with parents/students. Invite parents to ALL award ceremonies- our children look for us to support them!

Teachers are excellent, however, class size is too big, about 28 students! I understand the school budget, however, smaller size class are always better as teachers have more time to focus in each of the students individual needs. The principal have not impress me. Parents do need to be more involved. Thank you.

Great team here now that the administrator made sure to lose the Instructional coach who had been there for about 4 years. SHe was rude, thought she knew it all and rarely allowed the other instructional coaches to grow-as she felt she was the powerful one. I am glad the teachers and adminsitrators finally moved her out and since the school ahs really been able to move! Great team at Dyer no backstabbing any longer

Office staff are rude & unprofessional. Every time I go in there, I feel like I'm bothering them and I feel very uncomfortable. The principle is also very unapproachable & rude. Since the school year is over, I'm trying to get my son out of this school ASAP. The only reason why I've kept my child as long as a I have (1.5 years) is because the teachers are awesome. My child and I have had wonderful experiences with Mrs. O & Mrs. Jensen. They truly care for their students and want only the best for them. I appreciate everything they've done for my child. The only reason I've given this school two stars is because of the teachers. The district really needs to train the administrative office on customer service skills and need to replace the principle.

Mrs. Haws is a great special education teacher!! I do not know what we would have done without her there at Dyer . She always takes that extra step to make sure my son was doing well in his school work. W will always be thankful to her for all she has done .

Mrs. Okereke is an awesome special education teacher. My child has learned so much this past year. She did wonders for my child with special needs. He is now confident, speaks in complete sentences, has advanced academic skills and loves been in school. He is always asking for Mrs. O.
