DALLAS COUNTY JUVENILE JUSTICE

DALLAS COUNTY JUVENILE JUSTICE is a Title I public charter high school that is part of the ACADEMY FOR ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE school district, located in DALLAS, TX with about 290 students offering grade levels from 5th Grade to 12th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 26 teachers, DALLAS COUNTY JUVENILE JUSTICE has a student/teacher ratio of about 11:1. 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 **DALLAS COUNTY JUVENILE JUSTICE Center**, located at 2600 Lone Star Drive in Dallas, Texas, serves as the primary hub for the county’s juvenile detention and judicial operations. As a facility under the jurisdiction of the Dallas County Juvenile Department, it functions as a secure environment for youth who have been apprehended by law enforcement or remanded by the juvenile court. The facility is designed to provide temporary housing, supervision, and security for minors while their cases are pending adjudication or while they await placement in long-term rehabilitation or treatment programs.

Beyond its role in detention and security, the center is fundamentally committed to the rehabilitation and education of the youth within its care. It operates in conjunction with local educational and social service agencies to ensure that minors continue to receive mandated schooling and counseling services despite their confinement. By integrating academic instruction, behavioral intervention, and therapeutic support, the facility aims to address the underlying issues contributing to delinquent behavior and provide the resources necessary to facilitate a successful reintegration into the community upon the youth's release.
