GALVESTON CO DETENTION CTR

GALVESTON CO DETENTION CTR is a public secondary school that is part of the DICKINSON ISD school district, located in DICKINSON, TX with about 23 students offering grade levels from 8th Grade to 11th Grade. With about 2 teachers, GALVESTON CO DETENTION CTR has a student/teacher ratio of about 11:1. 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 6101 Attwater in Dickinson, Texas, is an educational program operated in conjunction with the Galveston County Detention Center. Administered by the Dickinson Independent School District (DISD), this program is designed to provide essential academic instruction to school-aged youth who are currently remanded to juvenile detention. The primary objective of this initiative is to ensure that students maintain academic continuity and continue to meet state educational standards despite their temporary removal from a traditional classroom environment.

By integrating school district resources within the detention setting, Dickinson ISD aims to mitigate the educational disruption that often accompanies involvement with the juvenile justice system. The program focuses on core curriculum requirements, helping students remain on track for grade-level promotion or graduation. Ultimately, this educational component serves as a vital bridge, supporting the district's commitment to providing equitable learning opportunities and facilitating a smoother transition for students when they return to their home schools or move to their next placement.
