I think Plainfield high school is a great school for academics and sports. The only thing that I think should change about the school is the food choices in the cafeteria and the gates along each bathroom.

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.
