Plymouth South High School

Plymouth South is very close to losing its accreditation, and the principle does not know what she is doing. The school just spent hundreds of dollars on equipment/software and half the teachers do not know how to use it properly. The once amazing tech program has gone downhill, and I am no longer a tech student because of this. Also, as a teenager with medical problems, the school has given us a hard time the whole way, and has dropped the ball on multiple occasions. They boast about their anti-bullying policy, but would rather appease bullies than punish them. The student body has developed a highly negative attitude due the environment they are subjected to. The students are blamed for this negativity, rather than the school taking responsibility for its own short comings. Please send your kid somewhere else if you can. It was a huge waste of four years, and I am only thankful for some cool friends I've met here.

I am a junior at PSHS now and in my opinion, the school is definitely not one of the best. It is VERY overcrowded; we have four minutes passing time between classes and there is so much traffic in the halls that I often do not make it to my classes on time. Also, I have found that the majority of the teachers I've had over the past three years have been lazy and clearly do not put in as much effort as they should. I have had a number of teachers that barely do anything but handout worksheets to fill up classtime. Most of the materials date back to when the school first opened in 1988. It does not have much money to make any repairs or upgrades and there is mold in many classrooms. (p.s. the kids in the school have a huge smoking problem- i can think of more people who smoke than people who don't). On the bright side, they offer many afterschool sports and activities, which makes it easy to get involved. Overall, being a student at PSHS, I probably would not recommend sending your child to this school.

I live in Plymouth, however my children do not attend Plymouth Public Schools. My daughter went to 4th grade, learned by that and my second never attended. Both are getting great education else where. That is my recommedation.

I graduated from Plymouth South in 2007. The teachers were great and the other students were, as well. The building could be better, though. Overall, it was a good time.

I went to Plymouth South. It was overcrowded, but the teachers were great and the education was good.

I go to this school now, and I think it is a good school. Yes it is really overcrowded but the teachers make the best out of the situation and try really hard to help the students. When I need help all I have to do is help and I always get it very quickly. I am glad that I am going to Plymouth South.

I'm going to this school right now, and I can tell you that this school is not very good. First of all, most of the equipment that we use was new when the school was built. Secondly, a majority of the teachers relegate the students to the lowest tier of society the moment tht they act out, or don't learn at quite the same pace as the other students. Third, due to said relegation, a portion of the students lose their self-respect and treat themselves as if they are S#!T, with minor crimes, like stealing and defacing school property, which only further enhances the faculty's distaste with 90% of the student body. Fourth, the fact that there are too many students crammed into this school greatly inhibits those who truly want to learn from getting their education in a productive learning environment. Lastly, their is a severe lack of afterschool activities.

PSHS offers kids the opportunity to explore so many different careers, combining the tech program with college prep or without, everyone has a choice. Teachers are the most dedicated!
