About Detention Center School

Curriculum/Grades/Report Cards/Credit

Our students attend a regular five period school day. Our highly qualified teachers offer a standard curriculum including Language Arts, Social Studies, Math, Science, Physical Education, Fine Art and other subjects.

In some cases, Detention Center teachers work directly with a student's previous or next school. Teachers assist students completing assignments from their home schools and proctor tests upon request. Parents or guardians are encouraged to contact home schools and open communication lines so that students can successfully complete courses they began before entering the Detention Center.

Students' work is graded on a regular basis. Progress Report Cards can be issued after a student has been enrolled for 20 days. An authorized person must call the Detention Center School office at (414) 257-4857.

We encourage students and their guardians to inform the home school of attendance at Detention Center School. Schools then contact our office to get an official record of attendance and courses. At that point it is anticipated that the home school would issue credits based on work at both facilities.
