Riverdale Academy (Louisiana)

Riverdale Academy is a private school in East Point, Louisiana, United States.

Located outside Coushatta, Riverdale is the only private K-12 school in Red River Parish.

[1] In response to a desegregation order resulting from a 1966 court case (U.S. v. Red River Parish School Board, C.A.

La., filed July, 1966)[2] and population loss, numerous schools in Red River Parish had been consolidated or closed by 1970.

East Point School was sold for $501.50 on January 8, 1970, to Florane House Movers,[3] which then turned over the property to a parents group to form a new segregation academy.
