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.

Plainfield East is a diverse and involved school with many clubs open to everyone. My best experience there has been the great people I have met and the supportive teachers. They have helped me grow and learn. The worst part, however, is dealing with some of the deans, who can be less than helpful. Overall, the positive environment and opportunities at Plainfield East make it a good place for students like me to thrive.

Its overall a middle ground school, sports and education are mid-field. Theres nothing special about this school honestly.

I was an AP and Honors student. I was mainly involved in the music department whether it was with the spring musical, choir, or madrigals. The best part of my experience at East was the people I met and the belonging I felt within the choir program along with the opportunities that the choir director granted us. The worst part of attending East was the lack of support when it came to certain extracurriculars.
