History

Nathanael Greene Academy was founded in 1969 as a segregation academy. Its original campus of five acres (2.0 ha) and three buildings was purchased from the town of Siloam for $100 and subsequently valued for tax purposes at $24,000. In its first year of operations it had no black students or teachers.[2]

In 2016, the school had no Black, Asian, or Hispanic students.[1] Surrounding Greene County has a population that is about 40% Black.[3][1] For the 2018–19 school year, the student body included a low percentage of minority students.[4]
