Snohomish Detention Center

Northwest Educational Service District 189

8 Students

High School 6th - 12th

School Overview

The facility located at 2801 10th Street in Everett, Washington, is not a traditional academic school, but rather the **Denney Juvenile Justice Center**. This facility serves as the primary detention center for Snohomish County, housing youth who are awaiting court proceedings or serving sentences for juvenile offenses.

Because state law mandates that all youth in detention must have access to education, the facility hosts an on-site school program operated in partnership with the local school district. The educational environment is highly structured and security-focused, designed to provide core academic instruction—typically including math, English, and GED preparation—to ensure that students do not fall behind in their studies while they are in custody. The primary goal of the school component is to maintain continuity of learning and provide a regulated, constructive environment during a student's period of incarceration.

* Charter Schools: A public charter school is a publicly funded school that operates independently under a legislative contract (or "charter") with a state, school district, or designated authorizing entity. Charters grant these schools greater operational flexibility over curriculum, staffing, and budgeting in exchange for strict accountability to achieve performance standards established in their charter agreement.

¹ National School Lunch Program (NSLP): The National School Lunch Program is a federally assisted meal program operating in public and nonprofit private schools. It provides nutritionally balanced, low-cost or free lunches to eligible children each school day based on household income thresholds or community eligibility options (CEO).

Title I Program Overview: Title I, Part A of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) allocates federal financial assistance to local educational agencies and public schools with high percentages of children from low-income families to help ensure that all children meet challenging state academic standards.
