Original Research by School Decision on Juvenile Detention Center
This entity is a closed juvenile detention center school in Del Rio, Texas, operated by San Felipe-Del Rio Consolidated Independent School District. The facility provided educational services to students held in detention, serving middle-grade youth. No enrollment data, academic performance metrics, demographic breakdowns, or operational details are available in current records, which reflects the center's closed status.
Because this facility is no longer operational, it does not serve as an option for families seeking school placement. The record exists in the education database as a historical entry documenting a school that once operated in the district but is no longer active.
For context on Del Rio and the broader school environment, San Felipe-Del Rio CISD serves the area with a range of school options. The district has invested in specialized academic pathways in recent years. It offers an Elementary STEM Academy at multiple campuses using hands-on, integrated learning, and New Tech Middle School academies at its middle schools that emphasize project-based and real-world instruction. These represent deliberate choices by the district to create distinct academic environments within the public system.
The district has also obtained District of Innovation status, which provides operational flexibilities including an earlier school start date and some hiring latitude for career and technical education positions and, as of a recent amendment, for art and music roles. These are structural choices that affect the rhythm and staffing families encounter.
Looking ahead, the district put a major facilities bond to voters in November of last year, funding a new high school freshman center, a brick-and-mortar elementary STEM magnet school, expansions to middle school facilities, and elementary campus improvements. The bond was structured to avoid raising the local school property tax rate. The outcome of that vote was not confirmed in available sources, but it signals the district's investment trajectory and priorities in capital infrastructure and program expansion.
