Glen Mills Schools

[4] Previously, Glen Mills had been lauded as a "pathbreaking concept for modernizing failing reform schools in the United States".

[5] Juvenile courts in other states, such as California and Texas, along with various Pennsylvania jurisdictions, sent boys adjudged delinquent to Glen Mills Schools.

[5] Bermuda's Department of Child and Family Services, for example, sent boys to Glen Mills for more than 35 years between 1982–2017,[8] paying almost $1.6 million to the school between 2001 and 2019.

[9] On the school's 125th Anniversary, it described itself as having "500 court-adjudicated male youth on an open residential campus, providing students with academics, vocational programs, character and leadership skill development, behavior services, athletics and recreation".

[14] The school's teams, called the "Battling Bulls", have won many championships competing in 15 varsity sports as a member of the Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association.

[8] Glen Mills School is also the subject of an ongoing investigation or law enforcement proceeding at the U.S. Department of Justice in 2019.
