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.

My experience at Plainview was something ill never forget. We always had a reputation for being a tough team to beat in sports and we were that. Some things I will never forget are during my senior year. We won the Region Championship in football for the first time in about 6 or 7 years. We also won the varsity county basketball tournament with a buzzer beater to end the 4th quarter. If I was able to go back and relive every moment that I had in high school, every football game, basketball game, class, conversation, school event, whatever it was, I would do it in a heart beat. Those were some of the best years of my life.

Some are only there for the paycheck, some are only there to coach some sport, others genuinely do care but the students just don't respect their authority and gripe when they don't get good grades even though the student has only put forth very little effort.

It's a good school. There are a lot of cliques because it's a small town and therefore you are pretty much born into your popularity, but I will say that there are those who just have a good personality and can get along with everyone despite their economic backgrounds. There are a lot of snobs and there is a good number of outcasts. The best thing to do is get involved with clubs or some organization, that's where you can break down social barriers and make friends.
