This will be my son’s Senior year and I can honestly say it’s gone by way too fast. He’s had a great experience at PNHS. Most of the Teachers are terrific and are always willing to assist when students fall behind or need extra help. My Son’s Counselor has been wonderful advising him on which classes to take that will challenge him but not overwhelm him. The Principal and administrative team treat the students with respect and are very involved. They also encourage Parents to be involved in their Child’s education as well as providing guidence on college readiness. They have a lot of activities for the kids to be involved in from various clubs to sports, as well at performing arts and marching band. Overall excellent school!
Plainfield North is excellent high school. They take pride in their students and have excellent teachers. They have exceptional programs with great resources to help students excel. I attended other schools in the city of Chicago, but this by far has been my best education learning experience. Diversity is on the horizon at PNHS . Go Plainfield North!
Plainfield North is an interesting place, with interesting people and faculty. The education here is pretty great, but there are quite a few teachers who aren't that great. There is a lot of support for each student if you take advantage of it.(tutoring, college counselors, conselours) The people here can be rude, but that's the same as any High school. The food is not that great, especially for your health, and different lines for food get shut down all the time. That means you end up in a very long line and by the time you get your food, the period for lunch is almost over. Speaking of periods, psd202 should have 8 periods in school, not 7. With only 7, it's hard to explore your interests and you end up with a worse gpa than your counterparts at other schools. All in all Plainfield North is a decent school, as a junior going into senior year, I am proud to have spent my time here, and hopefully it will help me prepare for college. PS: The marching band is the best, please join it!
