Enrollment Application & Waiting List
Lake Oconee Academy is a public charter school serving residents of Greene County. Therefore, there are no tuition or fees (save those required for extracurricular activities, if applicable). LOA does not discriminate against any student on the basis of race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, gender or disability. Students are not selected on the basis of ability. LOA is a public, nonsectarian, nonreligious, nonprofit school organized and operated under Georgia State laws.
LOA operates under one county-wide attendance zone. If LOA receives more applications than seats available in a grade level, students are admitted by a lottery process as mandated by state and federal law.
Applications for the 2023/2024 (current) school year are now closed.
Lake Oconee Academy will begin accepting applications for the 2024/2025 school year on January 1, 2024. Please ensure you are applying for the correct grade level FOR NEXT SCHOOL YEAR.
The waiting lists established during the 2023/2024 lottery will remain in place until the next lottery drawing on April 10, 2024. If your student has not received an offer of acceptance by January 1, 2024, you will need to reapply for the 2024/2025 school year as we do not hold applications over from year to year. DO NOT attempt to change the grade level on an existing application and think it will carry over for the next school year - it WILL NOT. Only those applications submitted on a 2024/2025 form in the SchoolMint system, and submitted between January 1, 2024 and March 31, 2024 will be included in the April 10, 2024 lottery.
Applications received after March 31, 2024 will be placed on the waiting list in the order they are received BEHIND those drawn during the lottery.
