History

Tiftarea Academy was founded in response to the federally mandated racial desegregation of public schools.[3] According to Mike Bowler of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, in 1970, the school could be described as a segregation academy.[3]

In 1972, the school did not enroll any black students.[4] As of 2019, the academy's enrollment of 676 students included 2.4% Asians, 0.5% African Americans and 0.5% Hispanic students.[5]
