JUVENILE JUSTICE CTR.

High School 7th - 12th

School Overview

The Juvenile Justice Center, located at 1111 N. Robberson in Springfield, Missouri, functions as the primary facility for the Greene County Juvenile Office. Rather than a traditional academic institution, it is a specialized site dedicated to the administration of juvenile law, detention, and rehabilitation. The facility serves as the hub for court operations, intake, and secure custody for youth who are involved in the legal system, operating under the oversight of the Missouri Juvenile Court system.

Educational services provided at this location are centered on the **Juvenile Detention Center (JDC) School**, which is designed to provide continuity of education for youth currently held in custody. Because these students are temporarily removed from their home schools, the center offers a structured, individualized academic environment aimed at keeping them on track with their grade-level requirements. The program focuses on credit recovery, basic skill development, and maintaining academic progress while students navigate their legal proceedings, ensuring that their educational needs are addressed despite their confinement.
