High School 7th - 12th

School Overview

The location identified as "EAST RECEP/DIAG CORR CENT/DIAG" (Eastern Reception, Diagnostic and Correctional Center) is not a traditional academic school, but rather a state-operated facility located in Bonne Terre, Missouri. It functions primarily as a high-security prison under the jurisdiction of the Missouri Department of Corrections. Its core mandate is to serve as the primary intake point for adult male offenders entering the Missouri prison system, where they undergo diagnostic evaluations, risk assessments, and classification to determine their permanent housing assignments.

While the facility is not a school in the conventional sense, it does provide essential programming for the incarcerated population, including opportunities for educational advancement. The facility offers various rehabilitative services, including Adult Basic Education (ABE), GED preparation, and vocational training programs designed to assist inmates in developing employable skills. These educational efforts are integrated into the facility’s operations to help facilitate inmate rehabilitation and prepare individuals for their eventual reintegration into society.
