Juvenile Detent Center

Summary:

Juvenile Detent Center is a small public high school serving grades 7-12 in the Lamar Consolidated Independent School District in Richmond, Texas, with a predominantly African American and Hispanic student population.

Despite its small size, Juvenile Detent Center consistently ranks among the lowest-performing high schools in Texas, with very low academic performance, graduation rates, and standardized test scores that are well below the district and state averages. The school has a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students and a relatively small student-teacher ratio, but its academic outcomes are significantly worse than nearby high schools like Dr. Thomas E. Randle High School, Foster High School, and George Ranch High School. The school's performance is particularly concerning for certain student subgroups, such as African American, Hispanic, and special education students, who rank in the bottom 10-20% of their respective subgroups statewide.

Despite the high spending per student at Juvenile Detent Center, the combination of a small, high-needs student population, low academic performance, and high dropout rates suggests that the school may be facing significant challenges in providing a quality education and supporting the unique needs of its students. Targeted interventions and support are likely needed to improve educational outcomes for this vulnerable population.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

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.
