POCATELLO JUVENILE DETENTION

POCATELLO JUVENILE DETENTION is a public school that is part of the POCATELLO DISTRICT school district, located in POCATELLO, ID with about 1 students offering grade levels from 1st Grade to 12th Grade.

The **POCATELLO JUVENILE DETENTION Center**, located at 137 South 5th Street in Pocatello, Idaho, functions as a secure facility operated by the Sixth Judicial District. Unlike a traditional academic school, this facility serves as a residential center for youth who have been ordered by the court to be held in custody. The primary objective of the center is to provide a safe, structured, and secure environment while ensuring the well-being and supervision of juveniles who are awaiting court hearings or serving detention sentences.

Despite its restrictive setting, the facility is mandated to provide continued educational services to the youth in its care. The educational programming is designed to prevent significant academic disruption, allowing students to maintain progress toward their high school credits through individualized instruction and small-group learning environments. The school works in coordination with the local public school district to ensure that students receive appropriate curriculum and support, emphasizing academic continuity alongside the facility's core mission of rehabilitation, public safety, and behavioral accountability.
