High-quality correctional education provided to juvenile offenders is crucial in helping these youth transition back into the public school system. The set of guiding principles and best practices for providing high-quality education in the juvenile justice setting are vital to understanding when working with these youths. An update on the progress of juvenile justice reform in the state of Kentucky is conducted that explores reported data over a three-year span and examines how well Kentucky is adhering to guidelines set forth by the U.S. Departments of Education and Justice. Findings suggest although correctional education and transition services are provided to all students, there needs to be improvement to better increase the chances of rehabilitation including a reduction in recidivism rates.
