HARRIS CO J J A E P

The **Harris County JJAEP (Juvenile Justice Alternative Education Program)**, located at 203 Ivy in Deer Park, Texas, is an educational facility mandated by the Texas Education Code to serve students who have been removed from their home school districts due to disciplinary infractions. Operated under the oversight of the Harris County Juvenile Board, the program is designed to provide a structured and restrictive environment for students who have engaged in conduct requiring mandatory or discretionary expulsion. The primary mission of the center is to ensure that these students continue their academic progress while addressing the behavioral issues that led to their placement.

The curriculum at the Harris County JJAEP is highly focused on core subjects—such as English language arts, mathematics, science, and social studies—to ensure that students remain on track for grade-level promotion and eventual reintegration into their traditional school districts. Beyond academics, the program emphasizes behavioral modification, character development, and strict adherence to a code of conduct. By operating in a secure and controlled setting, the school aims to minimize disruption to the student’s educational timeline while providing the supervision and support necessary to transition them back into the mainstream public school system.
