JUVENILE DETENTION CTR.
JUVENILE DETENTION CTR. is a public school that is part of the SPECL. SCH. DST. ST. LOUIS CO. school district, located in CLAYTON, MO with about 34 students offering grade levels from Kindergarten to 12th Grade. With about 14 teachers, JUVENILE DETENTION CTR. has a student/teacher ratio of about 2:1. 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 facility located at 501 S. Brentwood Blvd in Clayton, Missouri, functions as the **St. Louis County Juvenile Detention Center**. It serves as a secure, short-term residential facility designed to provide temporary care and supervision for juveniles who have been taken into custody by law enforcement or ordered to be detained by the Family Court. The center operates under the oversight of the St. Louis County Family Court and is dedicated to maintaining public safety while managing the needs of youth awaiting court hearings or placement in long-term treatment programs.
Because the facility serves a population of youth in the legal system, it incorporates an on-site educational component to ensure that residents do not experience significant gaps in their schooling. The educational program is designed to provide continuity of instruction tailored to the students' grade levels and individual academic needs while they are in detention. The environment is highly structured, focusing on security, behavioral accountability, and providing a stable atmosphere that supports both the legal process and the educational development of the students in its care.
