CALHOUN COUNTY JUVENILE HOME

Calhoun County Juvenile Home is a public high school that is part of the Calhoun Intermediate School District school district, located in MARSHALL, MI with about 24 students offering grade levels from 5th Grade to 12th Grade. With about 3 teachers, Calhoun County Juvenile Home has a student/teacher ratio of about 8:1. 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 Calhoun County Juvenile Home, located in Marshall, Michigan, operates as a secure detention facility designed to provide temporary care and custody for youth who are pending court action or placement. Functioning under the umbrella of the Calhoun Intermediate School District (CISD), the facility focuses on maintaining a safe, structured environment that balances security with the essential needs of the juveniles in its care. By working closely with the court system and local social services, the home serves as a vital component of the county’s juvenile justice infrastructure.

Education is a central pillar of the facility’s operations, facilitated through the resources and programming provided by the Calhoun Intermediate School District. The school program is designed to minimize disruptions to the students' academic progress, offering tailored instruction that accommodates the short-term and often transitional nature of a juvenile detention setting. By providing consistent educational support, the facility aims to ensure that youth remain engaged in learning, thereby improving their long-term prospects for successful reintegration into their home schools and the community.
