School Overview

The **Tarrant County Juvenile Justice Alternative Education Program (JJAEP)**, located at 304 Lorine St. in Keller, Texas, serves as a specialized educational facility designed to provide academic continuity for students who have been removed from their home campuses due to disciplinary infractions. Unlike traditional public schools, the JJAEP operates under a mandate to provide a structured, highly supervised environment. Its primary objective is to keep students on track with their state-mandated curriculum while simultaneously addressing the behavioral and social challenges that led to their placement.

Because this is a Juvenile Justice Alternative Education Program, the school environment is characterized by smaller class sizes, rigorous behavioral expectations, and a focus on rehabilitation. The faculty and staff work closely with the Tarrant County Juvenile Board and local school districts to ensure that students receive core educational instruction in a setting that prioritizes safety, accountability, and the eventual successful transition of students back into their regular home school or an alternative graduation pathway.
