School Overview
The **Hidalgo County Juvenile Justice Alternative Education Program (JJAEP)**, located on FM RD 1015 in Progreso, Texas, serves as a specialized educational facility designed to provide instruction to students who have been removed from their home school districts due to disciplinary infractions. Unlike traditional public schools, the JJAEP is mandated by the Texas Education Code to serve students—typically those expelled for mandatory or discretionary reasons—to ensure they continue their academic progress in a highly structured, supervised environment.

The primary mission of this facility is to provide a balanced program that emphasizes academic curriculum—specifically core subjects like English, math, science, and social studies—alongside behavioral interventions. By offering a rigorous and controlled setting, the Hidalgo County JJAEP aims to address the behavioral challenges of its students while keeping them on track for grade-level promotion or graduation, ultimately preparing them for a successful transition back into their regular home school campuses.

1 National School Lunch Program (NSLP): The National School Lunch Program is a federally assisted meal program operating in public and nonprofit private schools.
