**Carroll Academy** (**CA**) is a private K-12 school in [Carrollton, Mississippi](/source/Carrollton,_Mississippi). *[The Atlantic](/source/The_Atlantic)* identified it as a [segregation academy](/source/Segregation_academy), a school created to thwart racial integration. In 2010 it had no African-American students.[1]

The school was established in the ex-Jennie McBride School on August 28, 1969.[2]

In 2011 the [Southern Poverty Law Center](/source/Southern_Poverty_Law_Center) (SPLC) stated that the [Council of Conservative Citizens](/source/Council_of_Conservative_Citizens) funds the school.[3]

As of 2018 the school had 309 students, of which 305 were white and 4 were of two or more races.[4]
