Plainfield high school is a school of many teachings and learnings. Secondary school is recommended for what it teaches and what you can become, my experience at that school is very good, what I have learned and what I have developed is good
9/27/2020
It was a great experience. The performing arts department is amazing. People are friends with the security guards. The food is okay for school food, but the school store and the lunch school store makes it better. The teachers are great it's just a handful that can make you annoyed, but the good thing is that you can transfer out of classes you don't like. There is also a whole variety of after school clubs and sports you can join. For example dance club, woodshop and marching band.

Plainfield high school was a good experience for me that led for me to decide to go to college. All of the teachers are nice and supportive. The one thing I wish they change are the curriculum. I feel like the students have the potential to learn things that may be challenging, it will help them to grow from it.

I had the opportunity to attend honor and advan...

When a bogus superintendent eliminated all supervisory positions, things got worse. The best people are always forced out.
