History
Manning maintained school systems, one for black students and one for whites until court-ordered integration caused Manning Training School (for blacks) to merge with all white Manning High School in 1970. At that time, Manning Training School became Manning Middle School, then later Manning Elementary. In response, an all-white private school, Laurence Manning Academy was created.[5] Laurence Manning Academy remained 98% white as of 2014.[6]
