The kids are great but the head principal seems aloof from the students. She is apathetic regarding fair treatment of staff and students. The aqdministration cares only about funding, test scores, and what looks good on paper. THey make np effort to find the truth when any incident occurs.

plainfield has such wonderful teachers they are commited to helping you learn & better your education & yourself. but there is a big clique problem here and not a lot of kids respect other kids or teachers. the rules are strict and you really have to watch your back. i will say that there is somewhat of a drug problem here.. but if your wanting a good education plainfield high school is amazing.

I currently attend Plainfield High school and I think it is a wonderful school. Our new school is beautiful. I love going here. Football games are so much fun and there is a lot of school spirit. At Plainfield you get the experience of a good education and a fun atmosphere.

I just graduated PHS. I think it is a wonderful school! The teachers there are all very nice and always want to help kids if they need it. The principals handle their jobs very well and do a great job. I would recommend PHS to anyone looking for a FOUR STAR SCHOOL!!

Plainfield School Systems are actually strong if you are looking for strength in test scores for college. They score very well on testing, and the teaching staff is very good. Guidance doesn not help much with searching for scholarships, etc- they basically leave it to students/parents. Very political town to live in, but wonderful people. Athletics are fairly strong. Boys and Girls basketball programs are above average, Softball very good although team potential much stronger than coaching, baseball program very good, fair golf program, cheerleading average, swim team above average, soccer program very good. (Friends children play almost every sport, so able to observe this personally). Tennis team average. Elem. schools very good, MS good.

I am a current senior at PHS. Had the opportunity been available, I would write a very large review for this. However, to keep to 150 words, I will adress the one major, serious problem I have noticed at this school. Although teachers and staff are helpful (the Majority), they have an extraordinary ability to turn their heads when they know there is a problem.

I have been attending Plainfield High School for about a month now, and I have enjoyed it so far. The teachers try to help you in any way they possibly can. There may be a few teachers who may not be that way, but overall most of them are. This is a very good school to attend.
