The school was founded by Trinity Presbyterian Church, an all-white church that resisted efforts for blacks to join the congregation.[4]

Some historians have described the school as a segregation academy.[5] As of 1986,[needs update] only two of the schools 645 students were black.[6]

Most whites who remained in the city's increasingly tiny, affluent white enclaves enrolled their children in one of its large segregation academies, each of which accepted a token number of black students—Montgomery Academy, no black students among 819; St James School, 49 out of 996; and Trinity Presbyterian, just 1 of 906.
