Granbury Campus is located inside of the Granbury Regional Juvenile Justice Detention Center in Granbury, Texas. 4-M Youth Services owns the Granbury Center and the Texas Juvenile Probation Commission holds the license.
The Granbury Center is a 96-bed secured facility serving both pre- and post-adjudicated youth. The facility primarily treats adolescents with drug and alcohol abuse problems. County juvenile probation departments from the region and around the state place adolescents in the facility.
Our school serves boys and girls ages 10 to 17. Our average enrollment ranges between 75 and 80 students with about 30% in special education.
Granbury school staff includes a principal, school psychologist (LSSP), registrar, core content teachers (math, science, social studies, and English), a P.E. teacher, life college teacher, technology assistant, math instructional assistant, a full-time substitute, and 2 instructional assistants. All of our teachers are Highly Qualified in their subject areas and are also certified in special education. The campus uses the C-Scope curriculum, and students have access to a full range of computer assisted instruction including STAR Reading and Math, Accelerated Math, A+, and Study Island. Other technology assisted devices used for instruction include Smart Board, Distance Learning, and hand held devices.
Hello and welcome to the Granbury campus of the John H. Wood, Jr. Public Charter District. Our campus is in Granbury, Texas, a beautiful, rural town located just 30 minutes from the southwestern edge of Fort Worth. Locals and tourists enjoy a winding recreational lake created in 1969 by the Brazos River Authority. Additionally, everyone can find something of interest when visiting our historic downtown area full of quaint shops, restaurants, live music, an opera house, and city beach. Recreation is abounding with walking and bike trails, fishing, water sports, and championship golf courses. Often on weekends, the courthouse square fills with vendors, shoppers, and bystanders celebrating anything from General Granbury’s birthday to Fourth of July to Harvest Moon.
The maximum student capacity of our campus is 96, with the maximum student-teacher ratio being 12:1. John Wood teachers and instructional aides are highly qualified and provide full academic instruction in a technologically advanced environment. Instruction is delivered through a combination of traditional classroom settings aided by a myriad of educational technologies and software applications.
JHW Granbury continually searches for better ways to improve student achievement as we prepare our students to re-enter the traditional environment. We offer middle school and high school core and elective courses organized around C-SCOPE, a challenging, standards-based curriculum resource. C-SCOPE is aligned with the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) and the Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills (TAKS), our state assessment. In addition to grade-level instruction, individualized student schedules provide opportunities for both credit recovery and acceleration, while filling in gaps in learning providing our students with a strong foundational knowledge base in each of their core subjects. Intensive preparation for state assessments is a vital part of our curriculum as well as a structured character education program. We aspire to instill a passion for a thirst for knowledge where our students will become life long learners. Special programs include gifted/talented, 504, and special education.
The mission of John Wood Charter School is to inspire students to create a life worth living. To help us focus on that mission, the JHW Granbury campus students and staff begin each day by reciting the All-Star Creed:
Today I will learn;
I will exceed expectations;
and I will respect others as well as myself
in order to create a life worth living!
By starting the day in this way, we remind ourselves to give that extra effort, not because we have to, but because we want to.
