The best part of my experience at Plainview is the community that has been strengthened over many years. It is welcoming and encouraging to be around. Jokes and laughing is encouraged as long as you do your work. The worst experience is the food. It is so bad but the hot pockets and crispitos are alright. I would love to see the administration change because they try really hard to make our experience better but they just don't know what they are doing. They enforce rules that make no sense and stop nothing from happening. That is my experience all summed up.

Plainview has not been a bad experience for me, but for many it is. Most teachers do their jobs well, and some it's hard to learn from.
