TARRANT CO J J A E P

The facility located at 1850 White Settlement Road in Fort Worth, Texas, serves as the **Tarrant County Juvenile Justice Alternative Education Program (JJAEP)**. Unlike a traditional K-12 public school, the JJAEP is a state-mandated educational setting designed specifically for students who have been removed from their home campuses due to serious disciplinary infractions, such as violations of the Texas Education Code Chapter 37. The primary mission of this facility is to provide a structured, high-security environment where students can continue their core academic studies—such as math, science, English, and social studies—while undergoing behavioral intervention and character development.

The program operates with a focus on accountability and academic continuity, ensuring that students do not fall behind in their credit requirements while they serve their mandatory placement. Because it serves the entire Tarrant County area, the school functions as a collaborative effort between the local school districts and the county juvenile justice system. The daily operations emphasize strict classroom management, individualized instruction, and preparation for a student’s eventual transition back into their home school district. By combining rigorous academic oversight with disciplinary structure, the Tarrant County JJAEP aims to reduce recidivism and help students regain the stability necessary to succeed in a traditional classroom environment.
