PA was established in 1971 and remains as the only independent, non-sectarian, college preparatory school in Arkansas.[2]{{third party inline|date=December 2017}} HistoryWhen busing was introduced in the early 1970s to counteract the effects of racially defined residential patterns, whites built private schools in the suburbs or fled the county altogether. In 1971, insurance and real estate man William F. Rector announced the construction of the private Pulaski Academy in the western suburbs of the city for those, he said, who "don't like busing."[1] Pulaski was the first school established after the Swann v. Charlotte-Mecklenburg Board of Education decision (1971). Rector said, "I even hope we'll be allowed to play Dixie if we want to without having a riot about it."[2] In 2003, one of 102 graduating seniors was black.[3] In the 2015-16 school year, 955 of 1,221 students in grades 1-12 were white (78%).[4] In 2016, Little Rock was 48% white. In 2000, Pulaski Academy purchased the campus of Fellowship Bible Church, on the corner of Hinson and Napa Valley, increasing the campus to {{convert|32 |acres|ha}}.

During the 2008–09 academic year, fifteen members of the Class of 2009 were named as National Merit Scholars, three as Commended Scholars and twelve as Finalists. Enrollment for 2009-10 is approximately 1,210 K-12 students, with a student/teacher ratio of 8.9:1.
