REBUL Academy was founded in 1967 as a segregation academy. In 1968, REBUL Academy was one of the founding members of the Mississippi Private School Association.[2] The school lost its tax exempt status in 1970 as the result of a determination by the IRS that it had discriminatory admission practices.[3][4] It did not get tax-exempt status until 1993.[5]
In the fall of 1968, its first year of operation, the school had 83 students. It grew to 162 students in 1969 and 262 in 1970.[6]
In June 2006, the gymnasium was destroyed in a fire.[7]
REBUL Academy's name derives from the communities it serves - Raymond, Edwards, Bolton, Utica, and Learned.[8]
According to NCES, as of the 2021-2022 school year, the school had a total of 51 students in kindergarten through 12th grade. Of these 51, 100% were White.[9]
There were a total of 7 teachers in grades kindergarten through 12th, for a student teacher ratio of 7.3.[9]
REBUL Academy fields teams in archery, basketball, and softball. The school participates in Class 2A, the smallest class of MAIS.[10]
In 2020, a REBUL Academy coach, Christopher Ingram, was arrested for an off-campus incident of having sex with a 17-year-old student and for making claims about his son dying of cancer to raise money. In 2022, he was convicted and sentenced to 15 years for both crimes.[11]
