School Overview

The **Tarrant County Juvenile Justice Alternative Education Program (JJAEP)**, located in Azle, Texas, functions as a specialized educational facility mandated by the Texas Education Code. It serves students from various school districts within Tarrant County who have been removed from their home campuses due to disciplinary infractions. Unlike a traditional school, the JJAEP is designed to provide a highly structured and secure environment that focuses on both academic instruction and behavioral intervention for students who have committed mandatory or discretionary expellable offenses.

The primary mission of the program is to ensure that students continue their education while addressing the behavioral issues that led to their placement. The curriculum is typically streamlined to focus on core subjects—such as English language arts, mathematics, science, and social studies—to ensure students remain on track for grade-level promotion. In addition to rigorous academic oversight, the program incorporates behavioral management components, often including counseling, character education, and strict disciplinary protocols, all aimed at fostering accountability and preparing students for a successful reintegration into their home school districts.
