Platt is a good school to go to because it gets you ready for the work force by helping you pick out a trade. They also have a good academic system that allow you to learn whatever your supposed to learn in that grade. They have tutors and other systems for students who speak a different language, over all the school is a good place to learn but I wont say much about the school lunch because it's whatever the state gives them.

The best thing about Platt Technical Highschool is the vocational aspect of the school which is the strong selling point. If you rather focus on academics I'd suggest staying at your local town school but, if you desire vocational training then this school is for you. The building is only 2 years old and now we have access to the newest kinds of technology for the trades offered in school.

This school, as a student, is a 2 star at the most. Where I start is the bad teachers that inhabit the school. Now certainly there is sometimes a good teacher that you can get, but for the rest, you are in a lottery that you will probably lose. With the math program, Aleks, we are taught by a web pr...
