Absolutely. My entire family is from the Deep South (Southeast Georgia) dating back to James Oglethorpe. So yeah I've seen this over the years. The situation in Mississippi is what you said - a small city does not need two high schools. But that's how they segregate along racial lines. And yes I know the one school is mixed 50/50 with the bet that the school board is probably dominated by the whites. Things have definitely changed over the years though. I've seen the changes myself with my extended family (I grew up in the midwest). More and more counties in Georgia now go by with one high school or even setting up one to serve more than one county. This is happening mostly due to dwindling population and financial realities. But we still have a ways to go.
