GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Plainfield High School has some great sports programs along with many great educational options for many different careers. The science program is one of the best that I have seen compared to other nearby high schools and there are many opportunities to get any help needed to succeed at the school.

Very welcoming school and has a good variety of academics. There are many different types of classes for everyone that way you can figure out what you are interested in. The staff is there to make you feel safe and welcomed. They truly want you to succeed and will connect with you to help further your education. Overall a nice school district.

I am a recent alumni and graduated in 2017 and I now attend Bay Path University which is a private university in Massachusetts. Overall, Plainfield High School was an "okay" high school. The origin where I live I was forced to go to school here. My experience was not up to par but it was decent. One part that stuck out the most to me that I did not like is that PHS did not really do a great job with college readiness because when I started college, I was lost with some of the subjects I had to take which I already should have known information about because I took them in high school but I could not remember anything.

My oldest goes to this school and has been thriving. The support he has received has been excellent. Wonderful teachers counselors and staff. They have gone above and beyond to help his needs. Highly recommend PHS. My only complaint is the lack of foreign language options.

Do not send your children to this school!!!! I spent 3 of my four years in high school here and it was a truly awful experience. The School puts little emphasis on true learning, their main focus is the sports teams (mostly the male teams at that). The administration does not believe in bullying, th...
