RALPH C STARKEY (CJCF)

Ralph C Starkey (Cjcf) is a public high school that is part of the Buckeye United School District school district, located in Circleville, OH with about 97 students offering grade levels from 9th Grade to 12th Grade. With about 17 teachers, Ralph C Starkey (Cjcf) has a student/teacher ratio of about 5:1. 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 facility located at 640 Island Road in Circleville, Ohio, is known as the **Ralph C. Starkey Campus**, which operates as a juvenile correctional facility under the administration of the Pickaway County Juvenile Court. Specifically, it serves as a secure detention and rehabilitation center for youth who have been placed in the custody of the court. The campus is designed to provide a structured environment that balances security with educational and rehabilitative programming aimed at addressing the behavioral needs of the residents.

Because the facility operates under the jurisdiction of the Pickaway County Juvenile Court, its educational offerings are integrated into the juvenile justice process. The school component focuses on maintaining academic continuity for students who are temporarily detained or committed, ensuring they have access to state-mandated curriculum and support services during their stay. The overall mission of the Starkey campus is to promote accountability and personal growth, providing youth with the necessary tools and academic credits to help them successfully transition back into their home schools and communities upon release.
