TARRANT CO J J A E P is a public secondary school that is part of the EAGLE MT-SAGINAW ISD school district, located in FORT WORTH, TX with about 2 students offering grade levels from 9th Grade to 11th Grade.

The Tarrant County Juvenile Justice Alternative Education Program (JJAEP) serves as a mandatory disciplinary placement facility for students in Tarrant County who have committed specific offenses that require removal from their traditional home campus. Operating under the oversight of the Tarrant County Juvenile Board, the program is designed to provide a highly structured, secure environment that emphasizes academic continuity alongside behavioral intervention. The curriculum focuses on core subject areas—such as English language arts, mathematics, science, and social studies—to ensure that students do not fall behind in their grade-level requirements while serving their disciplinary term.

Beyond academics, the JJAEP places a significant emphasis on character development, conflict resolution, and the cultivation of personal responsibility. The program’s mission is to address the underlying issues that led to the student's removal, aiming to reduce recidivism and successfully transition students back into their home school districts. By integrating strict attendance and behavioral expectations with individualized instructional support, the school strives to prepare its students to make better decisions and achieve long-term success both inside and outside the classroom.
