ST CLAIR CO JUV DETENTION CENTER

St Clair Co Juv Detention Center is a public high school that is part of the East St Louis SD 189 school district, located in Belleville, IL offering grade levels from 7th Grade to 12th Grade.

The facility located at 9006 Lebanon Rd in Belleville, Illinois, is the **St. Clair County Juvenile Detention Center**. This institution serves as a secure residential facility designed to hold youth who have been processed through the juvenile justice system and are awaiting court hearings or placement in long-term treatment programs. Because it functions as a detention center rather than a traditional neighborhood school, the primary mission of the facility is to provide a safe, structured, and secure environment while maintaining continuity in the students' academic progress.

Within the facility, an educational program is mandated to ensure that incarcerated youth continue their studies despite their legal status. The curriculum typically focuses on core subjects such as math, reading, and language arts, often utilizing individualized instruction to accommodate students who arrive with varying grade levels and academic backgrounds. The goal of this on-site schooling is to prevent significant educational gaps, support credit recovery where possible, and prepare students for their eventual transition back into their home school districts or alternative educational settings.
