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.

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.

I have had a great experience at this school. The community is very strong and better than other school's I've seen. The building is always very clean and the staff are there to help with whatever you need. I feel I am getting a good education and being exposed to many different things. I wish there was better communication about dates, games, school events, etc. There could be a better place to access that information.

I have been at Plainfield East for the last 4 years of my life, and I would say that it is a very good learning environment that benefits students and parents. This school is one of the best in Illinois and not a lot of changes should be made in my opinion.

I think that overall, Plainfield East high school is a great school for students. The teachers at the school are very sweet and always looking to help their students. I love that there is always something for each student at the school to participate in. They have so many clubs and extracurricular activities that are really fun to be apart of. This school has also helped me meet some of the most amazing people and which some of them have become my best of friends. I am glad to have spent my four years of high school here.
