About Plainfield Public Schools

Plainfield’s school network contains several grade configurations instead of one uniform elementary-to-middle ladder. Cedarbrook operates as a K–8 school, allowing its students to remain in one building across the usual middle-school boundary. Other neighborhood routes move from elementary schools into district middle-school settings such as Hubbard or Maxson.

Plainfield Academy for the Arts and Advanced Studies offers an application-and-audition route beginning in grade six, creating an arts-centered 6–12 pathway. F. W. Cook’s STEM configuration also extends through grade six; the district documents Cook’s entry separately from the audition process used by PAAAS.

A sixth grader may reach the next stage through residence assignment, continued K–8 enrollment, or the PAAAS application. Plainfield High School and other district settings add another placement decision later, governed by current enrollment materials.
