Summary:

The Plainfield Community School Corp district consists of 9 schools serving grades pre-K through 12, with a total student enrollment of over 5,000. The district is home to several standout schools, including Plainfield High School, which consistently ranks among the top 40 high schools in Indiana, and Plainfield Community Middle School, which is among the top 32 middle schools in the state.

The district's schools generally perform above the state averages on ILEARN and SAT assessments, particularly in English Language Arts and Math. However, there are some areas, like Biology, where scores lag behind. The district also faces challenges with a high chronic absenteeism rate of 17.8% across all schools. While the district demonstrates a commitment to educational excellence, there are indications of equity challenges, as schools with higher percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch tend to have lower test scores and other performance metrics.

Overall, the Plainfield Community School Corp district appears to be a high-performing district with several standout schools, but there are also areas for improvement, particularly around equity and addressing chronic absenteeism. Continued focus on data-driven decision-making and sharing of effective strategies across the district can help the Plainfield schools maintain and build upon their strong foundation.
