re: Anybody here go to private school at a segregation academy when they were a kid?

I went to one of the 3 you mentioned.

Do the students that attend these schools understand why the school was founded or is it just something that isn't really discussed in these communities?

Not really discussed at all. We went there because it was really only 1 of 2 options. Unless you wanted to go to public schools in the area that were very poor educational wise, and not exactly safe.

Now i'm not saying my school was the pinnacle of private school education, but my parents put my brother and I in there because they didn't want us in those public school cesspools.

And yes, we did notice there were no black kids in our school, but as a student, we didn't know why. However, as i understand it, my old school is no longer only white, but they are still the large majority.
