Lawrence County Academy was a private, co-educational PK–12 school in Lawrence County, Mississippi, near Monticello.[1] The school has been described as a segregation academy.
In January 1970, the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit ordered Mississippi to desegregate its public schools. Lawrence County Academy was founded in 1970 as a segregation academy.[2] The school's team nickname was Rebels.[2]
The school closed in September, 1986 due to declining enrollment.[3] [2]
In 2018 Mississippi Senate special election, Cindy Hyde-Smith was criticized for attendance at the school.[4]
