JUVENILE DETENT CTR

JUVENILE DETENT CTR is a public high school that is part of the LAMAR CISD school district, located in RICHMOND, TX with about 36 students offering grade levels from 7th Grade to 12th Grade. With about 5 teachers, JUVENILE DETENT CTR has a student/teacher ratio of about 7:1. 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 122 Golfview in Richmond, Texas, is the **Fort Bend County Juvenile Detention Center**, which operates in partnership with the **Lamar Consolidated Independent School District (LCISD)** to provide educational services to detained youth. Because the school functions within a correctional environment, its primary mission is to ensure that students continue their academic progress and meet state educational requirements despite their period of incarceration. The program is designed to be highly structured, focusing on core subjects and credit recovery to prevent students from falling behind in their grade levels while awaiting court proceedings or placement.

The educational model at this facility emphasizes small class sizes and individualized instruction, which allows teachers to address a wide range of learning needs and academic gaps. By collaborating with LCISD, the center provides a seamless transition for students, ensuring that their transcripts and credits are accurately maintained and recognized by their home schools. Ultimately, the school aims to provide a stable, productive learning environment that promotes academic continuity and encourages students to remain engaged with their education during a challenging time in their lives.
