When the school was founded, it operated in temporary buildings on the edge of a sugar cane field in New Roads a short distance from [[False River (Louisiana)|False River]]. The school took its name from this nearby ox-bow lake. At the time, it was one of nine high schools located in Pointe Coupee Parish. Permanent brick buildings and a gymnasium were added in the 1970s as the school grew.
False River Academy (also known as Pointe Coupee Preparatory Academy) was formed, in 1969, in the wake of forced integration in the Pointe Coupee Parish Public school system<ref>http://etd.lsu.edu/docs/available/etd-1119103-164312/unrestricted/Smith_dis.pdf</ref>. In the summer of 1969, a number of like-minded parents joined together to create an institution of learning that excelled in academics, and instilling moral values and ethics in its students. This group of founding parents were upset with the deterioration of the local neighborhood schools and decided to form a school that functioned like a family.


The school is accredited by the Louisiana Board of Elementary and Secondary Education (BESE), and holds membership in Louisiana Citizens for Educational Freedom.<ref>[http://www.louisianacec.org/s3web/1001955/docs/roster_2011-12_june_30.pdf LA CEC Member Roster 2011-2012] {{webarchive| url= https://web.archive.org/web/20140422231909/http://www.louisianacec.org/s3web/1001955/docs/roster_2011-12_june_30.pdf |date=2014-04-22 }}</ref> In 2012, the school became accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Council on Accreditation and School Improvement (SACS CASI).<ref>{{cite web| url= http://www.falseriveracademy.org/about-fra.aspx| title= False River Academy| work= falseriveracademy.org| accessdate= 17 February 2016| archive-date= 23 January 2016| archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20160123171859/http://www.falseriveracademy.org/about-fra.aspx| url-status= dead}}</ref>

History

[edit]
False River Academy Campus in 1969

False River Academy was founded in the summer of 1969 as a segregation academy by white residents of Pointe Coupee and surrounding parishes, who were upset by desegregation.[5][6][7] Although segregation academies were forced to eliminate explicitly racial admissions policies in the 1970s, all of False River's students were white until the late 1990s. In 2018, the student body was more than 84% white.[8] As part of an effort to increase diversity, the school offers several minority scholarships.[9]

When the school was founded, it operated in temporary buildings on the edge of a sugar cane field in New Roads a short distance from False River. The school took its name from this nearby ox-bow lake. At the time, it was one of nine high schools located in Pointe Coupee Parish. Permanent brick buildings and a gymnasium were added in the 1970s as the school grew.

The school is accredited by the Louisiana Board of Elementary and Secondary Education (BESE), and holds membership in Louisiana Citizens for Educational Freedom.[10] In 2012, the school became accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Council on Accreditation and School Improvement (SACS CASI).[11]

Beginning in 2015, the school began offering dual enrollment courses for college credit.
