CDA JUVENILE DETENTION CENTER

CDA JUVENILE DETENTION CENTER is a public school that is part of the COEUR D'ALENE DISTRICT school district, located in COEUR D'ALENE, ID with about 24 students offering grade levels from 4th Grade to 12th Grade. With about 2 teachers, CDA JUVENILE DETENTION CENTER has a student/teacher ratio of about 12:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

The CDA JUVENILE DETENTION CENTER, located at 501 Government Way in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, serves as a secure facility operated under the jurisdiction of the Kootenai County court system. Unlike traditional educational institutions, this facility functions as a correctional environment designed to hold minors who have been remanded to custody by the juvenile justice system. Its primary focus is on public safety, the secure housing of detainees, and the management of youths awaiting court appearances or serving short-term disciplinary sentences.

While the facility prioritizes security and legal compliance, it also provides mandatory educational programming to ensure that detained youth continue their schooling while in custody. Because the facility operates in conjunction with local school districts, it offers structured academic support, often through individualized learning plans, to help students keep pace with their coursework. The environment is highly regimented, emphasizing behavioral accountability and rehabilitation to assist juveniles in transitioning back into the community or their home school districts upon their release.
