AFFLERBAUGH-PAIGE CAMP

Afflerbaugh-Paige Camp is a Title I public high school that is part of the Los Angeles County Office of Education school district, located in La Verne, CA with about 62 students offering grade levels from 7th Grade to 12th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 9 teachers, Afflerbaugh-Paige Camp has a student/teacher ratio of about 6:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

Afflerbaugh-Paige Camp, located in La Verne, California, is a residential detention facility operated by the Los Angeles County Probation Department. The facility is primarily designed to provide a structured, rehabilitative environment for male youth who have been placed in the juvenile justice system. Rather than a traditional high-security prison setting, the camp utilizes a camp-style model intended to emphasize discipline, personal accountability, and the development of pro-social behaviors.

The program at Afflerbaugh-Paige focuses on a combination of academic education, vocational training, and therapeutic interventions. Youth housed at the facility follow a regimented daily schedule that includes schooling, physical activities, and group counseling sessions aimed at addressing the root causes of their delinquent behavior. By integrating educational instruction with character-building programs, the facility aims to equip these young men with the necessary skills to successfully reintegrate into their communities upon release and reduce the likelihood of recidivism.
