I graduted Dyker in 2006. The best three years of my life were in Dyker. I made some amazing friends and had amazing times. Till this day I still miss that school. I am a Junior at Xaverian High School now, and although Xaverian is a good school, I feel, academically Dyker was better. For instense, below a 75% was failing on a test, while now its a 65% at my school. I wish everyday that dyker went to 12th grade, i would transfer in a heartbeat. I miss this school so much, its not even funny. I had a 90% or above in every class, so that's saying something. The teachers are hard workers and realte and interact with the students. I actually used my 8th grade notebook, to help write my U.S. History research paper. This is saying something. Dyker heights was an amazing learning experience for me.
The school is very responsive to parent's suggestions and the needs of the students. It is an excellent school. My other child went to nearby McAuliffe JHS which is supposed to be better but turned out to be very elitist and there was a major disconnect between parents and school.
My child attends Dyker IS 201, and I am very pleased with the level of education that she is receiving along with the efforts everything that every staff tries to do to make it a better environment. However, I am very concerned with the constant bullying and fights that go on a daily basis that the staff may or may not be aware of. Also, when a teacher is a witness to something how long does it take for them to contact the parent or school officals. In a school of about 1800 students, I think there is a huge safety issue, and needs to be addressed immediately.
