My experience with Plainfield Central High school has been mostly positive. I have good teachers and a good selection of courses to take.
5/10/2025
I went to Plainfield Central for my whole high school career and now that I'm at the end of it I can say that PCHS is a solidly okay school. The school has many flaws, but also many strengths that balance out those same flaws. Overall I did enjoy my time there.
1/28/2025
Most of my experiences at this school has been pretty positive, I've made good friends and created really good bonds with a lot of my teachers. Overall the atmosphere here is about a 3/5, it's not the worst but it definitely could be better. Our sports are not the best, but going to the games with your friends still makes it enjoyable.

My child is in several advanced and AP programs here, other than complaints of one of her teachers she has a great education and actively enjoys school.
2/22/2019
Honestly sick of the amount of homework because i feel like i only work nowadays and wish that teachers would realize we have other classes. I'd rather do little bits for each class daily rather than do big projects.
11/5/2018
Excellent! I have had my children in schools in different states and in several schools in Illinois. Plainfield schools are the best, from their preschool program to elementary school, middle school and high school, Plainfield schools are among the best.

Excellent school. Terrific and caring teachers with many programs and after-school opportunities. Ideal, safe location with beautiful small town appeal. Love it!
