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.

I truly have thoroughly enjoyed my time here at Plainfield High School. I really have enjoyed the mix of school culture and my amazing classmates as well as the awesome faculty. The teachers here really are amazing and they all truly and deeply care about us getting a good education. The environment that I'm in each and every day here is very amazing and I truly believe it starts at the administration which is very amazing here and they all just want to see us students succeed and that's something that I'm truly thankful for that I get.

Plainfield HS discriminates against female students. I know this from firsthand experience. I planned to take social science classes that were requirements for graduation during my freshman year in hopes of having a chance to graduate a semester early. My counselor (a male) told me he believed girls...
