Juvenile Detent Ctr

Juvenile Detent Ctr is a high school located in Richmond, TX, serving grades 6–12 and approximately 37 students. Operated by Lamar CISD, the campus sits about 26.3 miles from The Houston's newsroom and is part of The Houston's ongoing local education coverage.

The school employs roughly 3 full-time-equivalent classroom teachers for a student-to-teacher ratio of about 12.3:1. That ratio is below the state average for TX, generally an indicator of smaller class sizes and more individualized instruction.

Juvenile Detent Ctr is a traditional zoned public school within Lamar CISD, meaning enrollment is generally tied to residence within the school's attendance boundary. Boundary maps and feeder patterns are published by the district and updated annually.

State accountability ratings for TEA are released annually and combine student achievement, growth, and closing-the-gaps metrics. The Houston publishes rating updates as soon as they become public each fall, with comparisons to nearby campuses and prior-year trends.
