JUVENILE DETENT CTR

JUVENILE DETENT CTR is a public high school that is part of the SAN ANTONIO ISD school district, located in SAN ANTONIO, TX with about 108 students offering grade levels from 5th Grade to 12th Grade. With about 14 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 600 Mission Rd in San Antonio, Texas, serves as the **Bexar County Juvenile Detention Center**. This institution is a secure, short-term confinement facility designed to hold youth who have been apprehended by law enforcement and are awaiting court proceedings or disposition. Its primary purpose is to maintain public safety while ensuring that minors are housed in a controlled environment under the supervision of juvenile probation authorities.

Because the facility functions as a detention center rather than a traditional school, the educational program is specifically tailored to meet the needs of incarcerated youth. The school program is designed to provide continuity of instruction, ensuring that students do not fall further behind in their academic progress while they are in custody. Through a combination of state-mandated curriculum and individualized attention, the facility aims to keep students engaged in their studies, address potential credit recovery needs, and provide a structured environment that supports the overall rehabilitative goals of the juvenile justice system.
