LEON COUNTY JAIL
LEON COUNTY JAIL is a public high school that is part of the LEON school district, located in TALLAHASSEE, FL with about 7 students offering grade levels from 6th Grade to 12th Grade.
It appears there is a **misalignment** in the information provided. The address you listed (535 Appleyard Dr, Tallahassee, FL) is the physical location of the **Leon County Detention Facility (LEON COUNTY JAIL)**, not a K-12 school or academic institution.
Because this location is a correctional facility, it does not function as a traditional school. However, it is important to note that the Leon County School District (the website you linked, `leonschools.net`) maintains an educational partnership with the facility to provide mandatory academic services to incarcerated youth.
Here is a summary of the situation:
The Leon County Detention Facility serves as the primary lock-up for Leon County, Florida. While its primary purpose is public safety and the housing of detainees, the facility coordinates with the Leon County School District to operate an educational program. This program is specifically designed to ensure that incarcerated students—typically those under the age of 18—continue to have access to state-mandated education, including GED preparation and high school credit recovery, while they are in custody.
By integrating these services, the school district aims to mitigate the disruption of a student's academic progress during their detention. While the environment is highly restrictive and distinct from a traditional school campus, the partnership ensures that the facility complies with Florida’s requirements for providing instruction to school-age individuals. Visitors or those seeking information about general K-12 education should refer to the main Leon County Schools website, while those seeking information regarding the facility's operations should contact the Leon County Sheriff’s Office.
For more information, contact LEON COUNTY JAIL at (850) 410-1249 or visit the school personally to speak with a faculty or administrative member about any specific questions you may have.
