Michigan Department of Corrections

Headquartered at 206 E. Michigan Avenue in Lansing, Michigan, the Michigan Department of Corrections functions as an active, state-operated educational agency managing 25 operational school facilities across its network. Serving a geographic setting defined primarily as a distant town within the broader Lansing-East Lansing metropolitan region, this non-charter institution provides targeted secondary learning opportunities. The system offers high school programming spanning 9th through 12th grades, with a primary structural emphasis on specialized ungraded instruction tailored to meet the unique learning and rehabilitative needs of its student body.

During the current academic reporting period, the agency serves a total enrollment of 83 students, comprised of 81 male and 2 female learners. The student body is predominantly enrolled in ungraded coursework (80 students), alongside 3 students in the 12th grade, representing a diverse background that includes 49 Black, 27 White, 4 Hispanic, and 3 American Indian students. Within federal administrative reporting metrics, the agency reflects zero standard full-time equivalent (FTE) classroom teachers or support staff positions, highlighting an institutional operational framework where instructional duties are delivered through specialized state-agency staffing rather than traditional public school district models.
