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.

Overall, I can't say much bad about the sports and fitness at Plato High School. They could use a few more sports, though given the school's small size it's easy to understand why they don't have a huge number of sports. Areas and equipment made for sports were well kept, except for the male locker room. I believe that the locker room is too small to fit a normal-sized class inside. Other than that, the gym teachers are laid back enough you don't feel overly pressured, but excited enough to encourage you to do better.

Plato has a unique method to delivering lunch. It's more like an elementary school in the sense that you only had one option. That being said, the options were still very good. I would say that they try their hardest to feed everyone with something different everyday. Though the cafeteria didn't have a whole lot of options for special dietary accommodations, I can say that the school would have been quick to act if there were such a need.

It makes for a dangerous mix when you have students who are already vulnerable to teasing because they are receiving special education services, teachers who can't control students, and students who fr...
