School Reviews
5   4/5/2014
I think the school has shown great improvement. There is allot more contact with parents through phone and email. As long as you are an involved parent your child will thrive here at Plainfield South. Some teachers are better then others but it is like that anywhere. The principle and assistants are making a huge difference in the school. I think they are bit behind of other states but that starts in Middle school. The ap and honors classes are good and help my kids stay above the rest and they do not get bored. It all begins with the parents at home!!!
