I am very disappointed with Barry Goldwater. My niece was working at getting her cords for a school program in the mornings. She had no way to get to school before the morning bus, so she reached out to me to see if I would drive her. I am not going to lie, it was rough getting up an hour early and taking her the few times a month, every month. We did it and she worked hard. I was proud of her for not giving up and attending each meeting. Now she is graduating, and they said she did not attend all her required classes in the mornings and she would not be getting her cords. I am a teacher at another school and had those dates registered at my work for early clock-ins. My own principal said she would confirm this because she would always ask me, why am I at work so early on those days. I called and called Barry Goldwater and no one got back to me. I went down to the office on my lunch break, and was told there was nothing that the school could do at this time and someone would contact me. I left my name and number, and nothing. My niece just graduated last month without her earned cords. She was heartbroken. I am ashamed of the school. I myself even graduated from Barry Goldwater in 1993. Going forward, when my 8th grade parents ask me which high school I would recommend, it will not be Barry Goldwater. They have no integrity!

Lots of discrimination at this school. Don't send your child here unless your a rich white family with a stay at home mom who's super active in school activities, blocking the parking lot talking about stupid stuff. It's like all Stepford wives! And they treat the rich, active parents well. You have a child with issues and they'll treat your child and you the parent like crap telling other teachers and administration to pick on you. My child has been bullied and pushed around and the staff will roll their eyes when they see me cause I'm furious at how my child is treated! Years back, Mr. C used to be a great principal so caring and welcoming. Every admin since his era is so rude and condescending. You're gonna hear your upper grade students use the N word and I complained about it and they did nothing.....so don't go here if you're not very white!
