I have been at Plankinton School my whole life and it has been very good. I would change the high school teachers though because we have not have good teachers at all. My elementary learning was awesome though with very experienced teachers. I would like them to improve the administration because there are not enough rules that are followed.

Plankinton High School was a good experience overall, and I enjoyed the tight-knit community of the school. However, there is little opportunities for students who are not athletes.

I believe that my school has average student culture and diversity. We tend to keep to our own ways which sometimes offers challenges, however, when it comes down to a serious situation we accept each other.
