I really liked PHS and people are so nice here. I came to this school as a sophomore and I was well guided. Teachers are really nice when you get to communicate with them and explain your struggles. They are really helpful!

My overall experience so far at Plainville High School has been well, and I am very ready for the next step after high school.

The best parts of my experience include making memories with my friends including during my sports seasons. The worst parts of my experience are the over involved administration treating us like children. We are seniors, and they do not let us leave during our study halls when I could be working my job and saving up for college. We get close to no freedom.

My experience with this school was awesome. I attended this school for all four years and I never had any big issues with it. I graduated in the top 15% of the class and I am now attending UConn. Plainville High School taught me more than I could imagine and the atmosphere was comfortable.
