School Overview

Lincoln Hills School, located in Irma, Wisconsin, is a secure juvenile correctional facility operated by the Wisconsin Department of Corrections. Unlike a traditional academic institution, it serves as a long-term placement center for youth who have been adjudicated delinquent. The facility is designed to provide secure custody, behavioral rehabilitation, and supervision for male offenders, focusing on public safety while attempting to address the underlying causes of delinquent behavior through structured programming.

Educationally, the facility operates the School District of Lincoln Hills, which provides academic and vocational programming tailored to students who are currently incarcerated. The curriculum is intended to help these youth complete their high school education or earn a GED while developing technical skills that may assist in their eventual reintegration into society. The facility also offers various clinical services, including mental health counseling and substance abuse treatment, as part of a comprehensive approach to juvenile rehabilitation within the state’s justice system.

¹ National School Lunch Program (NSLP): The National School Lunch Program is a federally assisted meal program operating in public and nonprofit private schools. It provides nutritionally balanced, low-cost or free lunches to eligible children each school day based on household income thresholds or community eligibility options (CEO).
