FAYETTE REGIONAL JUVENILE DET CTR

Fayette Regional Juvenile Det Ctr is a public high school that is part of the Fayette County school district, located in Lexington, KY with about 38 students offering grade levels from 6th Grade to 12th Grade. With about 3 teachers, Fayette Regional Juvenile Det Ctr 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 **Fayette Regional Juvenile Detention Center (FRJDC)**, located on Spurr Road in Lexington, Kentucky, functions as a secure, state-operated facility dedicated to the temporary housing of youth who have been charged with delinquent acts. As a regional hub, the center provides a structured environment for juveniles awaiting court appearances or disposition. Its primary mandate is to ensure public safety while providing necessary supervision and security for youth within the justice system.

Beyond its custodial responsibilities, the facility is designed to address the specific educational and rehabilitative needs of its residents. The center coordinates with local educational services to ensure that youth continue their schooling while in custody, aiming to mitigate the disruption to their academic progress. By balancing security measures with clinical and educational support, the Fayette Regional Juvenile Detention Center serves as a critical component of the Kentucky juvenile justice system, focusing on the management, safety, and developmental continuity of the young people held within its care.
