UNION JUVENILE RESIDENTIAL FACILITY-THREE SPRINGS

UNION JUVENILE RESIDENTIAL FACILITY-THREE SPRINGS is a public high school that is part of the UNION school district, located in RAIFORD, FL with about 25 students offering grade levels from 6th Grade to 12th Grade. With about 2 teachers, UNION JUVENILE RESIDENTIAL FACILITY-THREE SPRINGS has a student/teacher ratio of about 12:1. 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.

The Union Juvenile Residential Facility, located in Raiford, Florida, is a specialized educational and correctional setting operated in coordination with the Union County School District. As a juvenile residential facility, its primary mission is to provide structured residential care, behavioral intervention, and academic instruction to youth who have been placed within the juvenile justice system. The facility aims to balance security and rehabilitation, ensuring that students remain on track with their state-mandated curriculum while addressing the unique social and emotional challenges that led to their placement.

Academically, the facility functions as an extension of the local school district, offering instruction designed to accommodate various grade levels and educational needs. By partnering with the school board, the facility ensures that students have access to certified teachers and credit-recovery programs, which are essential for reintegration into traditional school settings or post-secondary opportunities upon release. The program emphasizes the importance of consistency and academic continuity, providing a controlled environment where education serves as a foundational component of the students’ broader rehabilitative experience.
