Original Research by School Decision on Barely Bears
Barely Bears is a regular public school in Coolidge, Arizona, within the Coolidge Unified District. The school is listed as inactive, meaning it is not currently operating. No further detail about when it last served students or why it closed is available from the data. Its grade span is recorded as M through M, a designation that does not correspond to a standard grade range, so the intended grade configuration is unclear.
Because the school is inactive, there is no enrollment data, no demographic breakdown, and no record of state assessment results. No academic performance information was reported for this school, and comparisons relative to other schools in Pinal County could not be made—every metric is marked as not applicable due to missing values. There is no graduation rate, no information on programs offered such as Advanced Placement, career and technical education, or dual credit, and no data on discipline, staffing, or chronic absenteeism.
Coolidge, the city where the school was located, is a small desert community with roots in cotton farming that has seen recent industrial growth, including a Nikola Motor Company truck factory. The city has been growing rapidly in population and is positioned along the corridor between Phoenix and Tucson. The Coolidge Unified District, which oversees several other schools in the area, had no publicly reported recent changes of lasting impact found during the data collection.
For a family researching school options in Coolidge today, Barely Bears is not an active choice. The data offers no picture of what the school was like when it operated, so there is no basis for evaluating its academic pathway, peer environment, or student supports. A parent wanting to understand the current public school options in Coolidge would need to look at the other schools within the Coolidge Unified District that are actively serving students.
