It was reported that the Noxubee County school district was able to save $500,000 after just one year of not operating Reed Elementary. What was once Reed Elementar is now an alternative school for troubled students within the Noxubee County School District.

Integration
The public school population is less than 1% white, compared to 27% of the county population. In 1968, when the federal government mandated integration of public schools, Central Academy was founded in Macon as a segregation academy where white children could attend without having to go to school with black students. In 1982, private deals between board members and the academy to use public funds came to light. The NAACP responded by calling for the resignation of all Noxubee county school board members who had knowledge of the board's aid to the Academy, which at the time still did not enroll any black students.
