Juvenile Detention Center

Summary:

The Juvenile Detention Center is a small public high school in Abilene, Texas, serving grades 7-12 and part of the Abilene Independent School District. Despite its small size of just 11 students, the school has exceptional academic performance, ranking 4th out of 1,987 Texas high schools and receiving a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The Juvenile Detention Center's students have demonstrated remarkable proficiency, with 100% scoring proficient or better on the STAAR EOC/English II Reading assessment, far outpacing the district (57.03%) and state (59.82%) averages. However, the school has struggled with graduation rates, reporting 0% four-year graduation in recent years, though dropout rates have improved from 8.3% in 2018-2019 to 5.3% in 2021-2022. The school's student population has also undergone significant demographic shifts, with the 2022-2023 school year seeing a student body that was 36.36% White, 9.09% African American, and 54.55% Hispanic.

When compared to other schools in the Abilene area, such as Abilene High School, Cooper High School, and DAEP, the Juvenile Detention Center stands out as an exceptional performer, despite its small size and unique student population. This suggests that the school may have effective teaching practices or a dedicated faculty that is able to support student learning in a specialized setting.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
