In Plainfield South High School, there is many fights during school. The staff at the school doesn't care and doesn't do anything about it. In the Plainfield's schools, Plainfield South is the one who has the most fights. Knowing my school is the number one school who has many fights, it doesn't look good for the students. In the school students will see many policemen around the inside of the school, just in case someone wants to fight. Also the teachers and staff doesn't care about our future. The staff doesn't talk about college and scholarships. The staff puts so much pressure on seniors by assigning so much work and also us as students have job, sports, and having to apply to colleges and scholarships. Which those things are not including what students have to do at home. Students get depressed because of school, and seeing fights in the hallways students don't come to school. Students don't go to school because of many reasons, which are the fights and all the classwork and etc.
The staff are incredibly invested in the betterment of each individual student's potential. Never has a teacher backed down from sacrificing resources for their students learning experience. The cleanliness practiced by the janitorial staff within the district is impeccably hygienic. The sports teams of all strengths are unconditionally supported by foucused students and determined staff, Go Cougars! Life is your oyster so you wouldn't waste time of it make the world know your dreams and ambitions by joining clubs and getting a well earned relaxing break after school in chess club, speech club, and there are clubs that teach specific languages such as Deutsch, François, and Español if you want to travel the business world with bilingual confidence . As always to each their own adaptability is a respected practice amongst teachers for every student here in Plainfield School District No. 202. Can't wait for more cougar families to enroll see you there!
Plainfield East is one of the most diverse schools in the area. Walking the halls, I see people of all heights, genders, and ethnicities. Fights are very rare and the students obtain strong bonds with one another. The academics are quite well, although it is lacking in areas of the curriculum that students should know. While this is a district issue, our students do not obtain important skills like understanding taxes or basic life skills. Although the friendly atmosphere of teachers makes the experience all the more enjoyable. But, I would have to say the Academic/College counselors are lacking. As a senior, I have spoken to my counselor once this year and all I was told was "you should be all set." Students need a stronger connection with these guides in their lives. Lockport for example does better than East at this. If the school could make this necessity better, the students would be set for a more successful future.
