The average age of juvenile wards is 15 to 16 with some as young as 11. There is also an increase in the violent nature of the wards. The Juvenile Hall provides visitation for adult family members twice a week. This can be a stressful time for wards who do not receive family visitors. All juvenile wards are assigned a case coordinator to help them through these critical periods.
Wards receive three hours of classroom instruction and one hour of physical education per day.
The school employs a full-time certified teacher on a 183 day standard Nevada Joint Union High School District seven hour a day teacher's contract. The facility staff maintain a library for wards' recreational reading. These books are obtained from contributions of individuals and local bookstores. A licensed social worker meets with the wards for group counseling once a week. There are no vocational education programs available to the wards.
