I think Plainwell does an excellent job listening to the people. Especially for classes. One think I think they should focus more on is bullying, because some people think that it is not handled well and never taken care of.

There is definitely a lack in education and the way they handle some situations could be held differently. I think the people there are friendly for the most part, but I do think sports could be improved

I have enjoyed my years at Plainwell. The best part by far is being a part of the Competitive Cheer program. I adore the coaching staff and their commitment to the team and the friends I have made on the team. I do not like several classes I have to take and wish I had more options to take classes that are more pertinent to the field of study I am planning to pursue in college.

Hell. It's hell. You're kid will do fine if they are completely normal. They always side with normal. They'll treat any kid with emotional, learning, and social issues like absolute trash. Though even a normal kid wont be ready for college by the time they get out. Academics are terrible, even thoug...

Poor. School does nothing against bullying. Dress code is up to interpretation of teacher. So if a teacher doesn’t like you, you get reported all the time. No help with individuals with learning difficulties. Most issues are encouraged to be handled without 504 or IEP

Plainwell High School is a great school with a great staff. Everybody works together to get the job done right for the students. My husband and I specifically moved to Plainwell because of the quality of education that our children receive. Go Trojans!

The school is great. All the teachers are supportive of the kids and that really helps them succeed. Both of my children come home happy and are actually excited to go to school. I would not send my kids to another school.
