Plymouth High School is awesome, teachers are great

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

This school may not be the most welcoming environment for all families, especially those who are not from the Plymouth area or who come from diverse backgrounds. Many parents and students feel that favoritism plays a significant role in the classroom experience, and if one teacher has concerns with a student, it can unfortunately carry over year after year.Communication between staff and parents is often limited, and classroom issues are sometimes discussed only among teachers rather than being elevated to administrators. Not all children are treated equally, and there is a noticeable lack of consistency in how students are supported.The environment does not always feel inclusive or nurturing, and children who are energetic or expressive may quickly be labeled or recommended for evaluations rather than being given patience and understanding. For families moving to Plymouth, this may not be the most supportive school choice.

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.
