I have a son who is currently attending Dwyer. We have been very happy with the school, the teachers and the programs they have to offer. We have had a great relationship with the staff, teachers, guidence dept. and coaches. Overall it is a very good school.

This is school is absolutely THE MOST terriblest experience in all my years of attending school. If you have a problem, one that is embarassing or different( only so few have this problem) then the teachers DO NOT CARE! In fact, they go along with the students and aid in bullying you( indirect and direct jokes, dont tell them to stop, get annoyed at you, obviously dislike your presence) although you barely even talk in class, and remain mannerful. This school only seems to welcome the rich and high class and favoritism by teachers is shown in their favor. I absolutely loathe this school, it is the equivalent of hell. Dont send your child here if you want them to be happy, but if you only care about their education, then go ahead. Nothing would go wrong except for their self esteem and social skills

its my first year at Dwyer and i couldn't be happier with the school. The teachers really care and they are easy to communicate with. Dr Lee is an amazing principle and is running a great school. I would highly recommend going to this school.

I came from another Highscool in the area, that was a terrible experince for me. My brother and I are very happy here, because my Mother is a very demanding parent as she teaches, and I now I am receiving the best education that is right for me. GO PANTHERS!!!!!!!!!

This is a great school, but some of the teachers are lacking. Dr. Lee is an amazing principle though and most of the teachers are amazing.

this has been one of the more unproductive years that I have seen here, and I have been working as a volunteer at the school for years. Too many cutbacks, getting rid of teachers, discipline problems, if I could switch out fo this school for next year, I most send my child to another school. This is not an option. Seems the Finance magnet problem is booming because that's where the school spends it's most time, effort and school budget. I am extremely dissappointed

Dwyer is an incredible school. It starts at the top with the principal, Dr. Lee and all the way down to the custodians. Everyone enthusiastically creates a great learning environment which allows the students to flourish.

Dwyer is the most exquisite school I have visited in quite a while. The students are well mannered and educated. The teachers are worthy of the title 'Teacher' and it is for these reasons why Dwyer has kept its title as an 'A' school.
