Carl W Goetz Middle School

This school cares about the whole child and provides a variety of clubs, activities, and sports. Classroom learning is progressive and backed by state standards.

As a student of Goetz myself, I honestly believe that the social and educational atmosphere of Goetz is not great. Firstly, teachers and guidance counselors are deliberately oblivious to the discrimination and bullying that takes place among the student body. When a student needs help as a victim of bullying, there is usually little or no positive result in the situation. Some adult figures do not treat the students with the respect they deserve to make their schooling experience one they want to remember. Many students are discriminated by their peers, just because of their race, religion, sex, and sexual orientation. It is wrong that this happens, and nothing is done.

Where do I even begin with this school. Considering I know a lot about this school as I went through all 3 painful, bitter, unpleasant and distressing years here. Let me just throw it out there that this school ruined my life. Absolutely ruined it. I was bullied the second I walked into the school back in 2011 until I walked out in 2014. But that's not all folks, the teachers... just as bad. They practically laugh and cackle at their students with their other teacher friends.. I call an unprofessional on that one. This school made me have problems with myself that will last for the rest of my life. DO NOT SEND ANYBODY TO THIS SCHOOL, unless all you want for them is pain and suffering just like I did. All my sufferings were never handled properly and just got worse as each year went on. I reported the problems and nothing was done except a warning to the bully, and me feeling the backlash of him/her telling their friends which made everything worse, because they began to bully me for writing up their "friend". Worst 3 years of my life and I will never be able to get them back. Thank You Very Much Goetz Middle School, for the worst experience that I've gone through in my life!!

Do NOT allow your child attend this school. This school does not have a handle on bullying. Nepotism is alive and well here with preferential treatment towards the kids who have parents working at the school. Wish I could go back and have my child attend a different school. If I could rate 0 stars, I would. Principal is MIA.
