JUVENILE DETENT CTR

JUVENILE DETENT CTR is a public high school that is part of the LUFKIN ISD school district, located in LUFKIN, TX with about 3 students offering grade levels from 8th Grade to 12th Grade.

The **Juvenile Detention Center (JDC)** located at 705 Ellen Trout Drive in Lufkin, Texas, operates as a specialized educational facility under the administrative umbrella of the **Lufkin Independent School District (LISD)**. Unlike a traditional neighborhood school, this facility provides essential academic instruction to youth who have been placed in temporary detention. The primary goal of the school is to ensure that students maintain educational continuity while undergoing the juvenile justice process, adhering to state standards to ensure they do not fall behind in their grade-level requirements during their period of incarceration.

The program emphasizes a structured environment that prioritizes safety, behavior management, and core curriculum instruction. By partnering with the Lufkin Independent School District, the center ensures that detained youth receive access to certified teachers and appropriate educational materials, often facilitating credit recovery or the continuation of regular coursework. Through this integration, the facility aims to support the students' long-term academic success and provide a foundation for their eventual transition back into their home schools or alternative educational settings.
