High School 6th - 12th

School Overview

The facility located at 600 Mission Rd in San Antonio, Texas, serves as the **Bexar County Juvenile Detention Center**. This institution is a secure, short-term confinement facility designed to hold youth who have been apprehended by law enforcement and are awaiting court proceedings or disposition. Its primary purpose is to maintain public safety while ensuring that minors are housed in a controlled environment under the supervision of juvenile probation authorities.

Because the facility functions as a detention center rather than a traditional school, the educational program is specifically tailored to meet the needs of incarcerated youth. The school program is designed to provide continuity of instruction, ensuring that students do not fall further behind in their academic progress while they are in custody. Through a combination of state-mandated curriculum and individualized attention, the facility aims to keep students engaged in their studies, address potential credit recovery needs, and provide a structured environment that supports the overall rehabilitative goals of the juvenile justice system.
