School Overview

The **Metro West Detention Facility** in Miami, Florida, operates a specialized educational program through Miami-Dade County Public Schools (MDCPS) designed to provide continuity of instruction for incarcerated youth. Managed under the district’s "Alternative Outreach" umbrella, the program is tailored to meet the unique requirements of students in a secure detention environment, ensuring that they maintain academic progress despite their temporary or long-term removal from a traditional school setting.

The curriculum focuses on core subject areas and individualized learning plans, aiming to keep students on track for graduation or grade-level promotion. Beyond core academics, the school emphasizes a structured, supportive environment that prioritizes literacy, credit recovery, and behavioral stability. By integrating educational services within the detention facility, the program seeks to reduce recidivism by fostering a sense of academic purpose and providing students with the skills necessary to transition back into traditional school or career paths upon their release.
