OCEAN CO JUV DET CTR

OCEAN CO JUV DET CTR is a public high school that is part of the OFFICE OF EDUCATION JUVENILE JUSTICE COMMISSION school district, located in TOMS RIVER, NJ with about 12 students offering grade levels from 10th Grade to 12th Grade.

The **Ocean County Juvenile Detention Center**, located at 165 Sunset Avenue in Toms River, New Jersey, functions as a secure residential facility for youth who are awaiting court proceedings or serving short-term sentences. Unlike a traditional academic institution, the facility operates under the oversight of the Ocean County Department of Juvenile Services. Its primary mandate is to provide a safe, structured, and secure environment while ensuring the physical, emotional, and legal needs of the detained youth are met in accordance with state regulations.

Within the facility, an educational program is mandated to ensure that residents do not experience a disruption in their academic progress. The school program is typically tailored to meet the individual grade levels and credit requirements of each student, often featuring smaller class sizes and individualized instruction to accommodate a transient population. The goal of this educational component is to maintain continuity in learning and to provide a productive routine that supports the rehabilitation and eventual reintegration of the youth back into their home schools or community environments.
