DETENT CTR is a public high school that is part of the FORT WORTH ISD school district, located in FORT WORTH, TX with about 85 students offering grade levels from 5th Grade to 12th Grade. With about 6 teachers, DETENT CTR has a student/teacher ratio of about 14:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1.

The address provided, **2701 Kimbo Rd, Fort Worth, TX 76107**, corresponds to the **Fort Worth ISD Juvenile Justice Alternative Education Program (JJAEP)**, often referred to as the "Detention Center" school. This facility serves as an educational placement for students within the Fort Worth Independent School District who have been removed from their home campuses due to disciplinary infractions or legal involvement. The primary mission of this site is to provide a structured, secure environment where students can continue their academic progress in core subjects while adhering to strict behavioral expectations.
Because this school serves a specialized population, the educational environment is highly regulated and focused on maintaining continuity in the students' coursework. The curriculum is typically delivered through a combination of direct instruction and self-paced digital learning to ensure that students remain on track with state standards despite their displacement from a traditional classroom. By maintaining this link to the district’s broader academic framework, the program aims to prepare students for a successful transition back to their home schools once their disciplinary term is completed.
