Summary:
The Plainfield School District in Connecticut is home to a single high school, Plainfield High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The data reveals that Plainfield High School faces several academic challenges, particularly in mathematics, where student proficiency rates are significantly lower than the state average and have been declining in recent years.
Plainfield High School's student population is predominantly White (83.93%), with smaller percentages of Hispanic, African American, Asian, Native American, Pacific Islander, and multiracial students. The school serves a population with lower socioeconomic status, as nearly half (49.16%) of the students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. These factors may contribute to the school's academic struggles, and the district should focus on ensuring equitable educational opportunities and outcomes for all students, regardless of their racial or ethnic background or socioeconomic status.
Despite the academic challenges, Plainfield High School's performance has been inconsistent, with its statewide ranking and SchoolDigger rating fluctuating in recent years. This volatility suggests the need for a more comprehensive and sustained approach to school improvement, addressing the specific areas of concern, such as the declining math proficiency, and leveraging the school's resources and community partnerships to support student success.
