Plymouth High School is awesome, teachers are great

My children have attended this school since Kindergarten. While our experience in the early grades was very positive, things changed significantly once they reached 4th and 5th grade. At that point, the quality of the learning environment seemed to decline. The teachers often appear overwhelmed, and students are frequently sent to the office for minor issues—sometimes spending more time there than in the classroom learning.Bullying was also a major concern last year, with very little visible action taken by the principal or assistant principal. The leadership does not seem proactive. The principal, in particular, does not go out of her way to support students or parents, and conversations with her are often repetitive and unproductive, leaving me feeling frustrated and without clear direction.Additionally, my son’s NWEA test scores were very low. When I scheduled an IEP meeting, I was surprised to learn that he had simply been clicking through the test without putting in effort. This should have been communicated during parent-teacher conferences rather than being discovered only because I requested a meeting.I strongly believe the school needs to make a greater effort to engage with students and families, rather than simply going through the motions. While there are a few exceptional teachers here who truly care and make a difference, the lack of effective leadership—particularly from the principal—has been very discouraging.

Horrible school and principal doesn’t let you know about a gun threat until after the fact so you can’t keep your child home and now since they removed reviews from their school page I’m here saying it again

As a former Salem student, I can honestly say that I will never allow my future children to step foot in this school. This is a school that deeply prioritizes the over achieving, and ignores everyone else. Teachers and administrators shame students with lower grade point averages rather than helping them improve. Vast majority of the student body feels forgotten, invisible and helpless. A very large amount of the student population has severe mental health issues, for which they provide few resources. However, Salem does have an incredible counseling team. Sadly, they are painfully overwhelmed, and finding someone to talk to is virtually impossible during busy months. Several faculty members are highly unprofessional, and complain about their jobs to students. Majority of their complaints centered around their dismay towards the Salem principal, and their compensation. Some teachers had so much social drama going on it felt like watching a reality show. If you are looking for a school where your child will feel forgotten, unintelligent, and depressed Salem is the place for you! Anyone moving to the Plymouth-Canton area should factor in the price of private high school. (I would recommend St. Catherine's, Divine Child and Father Gabriel Richard)

I graduated in 2023, and this school definitely prepares you for college. P-CEP offers a wide variety of advanced and AP courses, which is helpful. However, it's incredibly easy to feel lonely at this school because of how many students there are. With almost 7,000 students, it's difficult to retain friendships unless you're a part of the same club. Never expect the ability to have lunch with your friends unless you're both in some special program that guarantees it. Throughout my time at P-CEP, at least one student has taken their own life almost every year, and there have been multiple gun and bomb threats that have led to lockdowns. Overall, good school for learning and college preparation, but not so great at providing students with mental and emotional support.
