Plainfield Central High School

This school was founded in 1959 just a short walk away from downtown Plainfield on Fort Beggs Dr. It is a co-ed school with a student population of 2,070 and an average teaching staff of 118.2. The school services grades 9-12 which would corelate to ages 14 to 18. As of 2022 the school has been rebuilt one time in 1990 after it was hit by the Plainfield tornado, which killed 29 people, 3 of which were school staff. Plainfield Central High School shares it's school district with 4 other high schools, because despite the Village of Plainfield's relatively small size, it's school district is massive and creeps into Oswego, Naperville, Lockport, and Joliet. The other High schools in the district are as follows: Plainfield North Highschool, Plainfield East Highschool, and Plainfield South Highschool. Plainfield Central rates the worst out of these schools when it comes to testing, however it does have a higher student population then most, and Plainfield North keeps stealing our rich people by gerrymandering the district. While many may complain about the school and others appraise it, Plainfield Central is mid as of 2022, a fairly average school in the USA.
