School Overview

The **Tarrant County Juvenile Justice Alternative Education Program (JJAEP)**, located on White Settlement Road in Fort Worth, serves as a specialized educational facility designed for students who have been removed from their home campuses due to disciplinary infractions. Unlike a standard public school, this facility operates under the oversight of the Tarrant County Juvenile Board. Its primary mission is to provide a highly structured and secure environment that allows students to continue their core academic studies while simultaneously addressing the behavioral issues that led to their placement.

The program focuses heavily on accountability, character development, and academic remediation to help students transition back into their home school districts successfully. The curriculum is typically delivered in a smaller classroom setting with increased supervision, ensuring that students stay on track with state-mandated educational requirements while adhering to strict behavioral codes. By blending rigorous academics with behavioral intervention, the Tarrant County JJAEP aims to reduce recidivism and help youth develop the skills necessary to regain their footing within the traditional public school system.
