It is located on Riddle Lane in Lake Providence in East Carroll Parish in northeastern Louisiana. The school has more than 250 students. HistoryThe school was founded as a segregation academy in 1970 after a federal court ordered the racial integration of East Carroll Parish public schools. This was 16 years after the US Supreme Court had ruled that segregated public schools were unconstitutional, in Brown v. Board of Education (1954).[1] When it first opened, the school enrolled 400 students in kindergarten through 8th grade.[1] By the end of 1970, Briarfield Academy enrolled 565 students at two campuses.[1] Many of the Briarfield Academy's teachers in the early years were former employees of the public schools system. They resigned and took pay cuts to avoid having to teach in racially integrated classrooms.[2] References1. ^{{Cite news|url=|title=Newsmakers are recalled for 1970 in East Carroll|last=Rushing|first=Mildred|date=December 29, 1970|work=The Monroe News Star|access-date=|archive-url=|archive-date=|dead-url=|page=22}} {{Louisiana-school-stub}}2. ^1 2 {{Cite news|url=|title=Private Schools Mushroom in wake of Desegregation Order|last=Miller|first=Mike|date=February 15, 1970|work=The (Opelousas) Daily World|access-date=|archive-url=|archive-date=|dead-url=|page=22}} 5 : Private high schools in Louisiana|Private middle schools in Louisiana|Private elementary schools in Louisiana|Schools in East Carroll Parish, Louisiana|Segregation academies in Louisiana |
