GreatSchools Rating
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. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. 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.

In my opinion, Plains is a fantastic town for students to grow up in. The administration, teachers, and coaches care so much about each and every kid. It was a great experience going to a small school because I was able to participate in quite a few activities and be involved in my community. If I were to change one thing, it would be to have more activities for a smaller school. I wish there was choir or clubs to become involved in.

It's been a very crazy experience going to this school but it has prepared me for what's to come. so it isn't so bad.

We have one of the best staffs any student could ask for. Even though sometimes it feels like they are overbearing, they are just trying to get the best out of us. Our principle is very involved, our counselor helps us as much as she can, and our teachers care about the students. They enforce every code and uphold our policies here at Plains High School.
