Plainfield high school is just one of the many schools that make up the school district of Plainfield. A lot of people tend to complain about the school itself without having actually experienced going there, its always the hearsay, but I attended PHS. I had the opportunity to attend honor and advance placement classes, which I believe did their jobs; as well as teachers who helped me decide to attend university when I personally did not see my own potential, so now I can have the privilege to say I am an engineer. There are other schools in the district but just as this one is struggling to have teachers all the other schools are in the same position. I would see students who would transfer from these so called better schools like PAAAS or Barack and they would find themselves placed in the lower level classes and these same students would comment on how they would not even have a teacher for a whole school year. So this just goes to show that school isn't always what people make it seem like, whether you go to a highly rated school or not; with that being said I also believe that the schools need better funding to help their students and faculty be able to take a step towards great things.

As former parent of Hubbard I have had the opportunity to see the school evolve over a period of time. The administration has worked continously to improve the academic performance, safety and culture of the school. Hubbard's teachers are very patient, caring, and strive toward making these students some of the best in the city. This school has turned around from it's yester years and has transformed for the better. Keep up the hardwork educators and students you are worth it!

I have two kids and they are new to Jefferson so far my kids are so happy, the teachers are very helpful. But I you want your kid to succeed we need to be there for them .
