Must be a school district thing because it’s not just them. Compare Summertown’s and Lawrence County High’s. 

That makes it even stranger. If Loretto lost 33% of their students, you would expect them to show up at one of the other schools in the county. But the other schools had significant drops too. What happened to 400+ kids in Lawrence Co high schools in the last 2 years. By the numbers, it looks like they disappeared.

I believe there was a misunderstanding and it’ll be corrected.

Must be a clerical error.   Lawrence County  schools would be down 397 kids from the 2018 numbers.  I think the three schools should be somewhere like Loretto 450, Summertown 425, LCHS 1200.  Hopefully it will work itself out.  Taking an enrollment count during Covid is not the best idea.  Don't know why they just don't use numbers from 2019 fall.

Also, what is everyone’s opinion on the number of schools in class.  Is there a number out there for the number of public school teams 

[edscissorhands]

I think the number for each class will be about 81 or 82

How in the world did Loretto lose 178 kids in 2 years?

2018 enrollment: 531

2020 enrollment: 353

Summertown went from 486 to 383 as well. Looks like Single A will be alive and well.

Just a guess...Cutoff for A will be around 377.

Never know. We will just lineup and play whoever.

I can’t believe Loretto lost 178 kids and Summertown lost 103 kids to homeschool. I know you said schools wouldn’t fudge numbers because that’s how they get funding but Loretto losing 33% of the student body to stay in single A looks very suspicious. I could understand some fluctuation but 178 is ridiculous. I have to assume TSSAA will double check these numbers. Do they have access to the numbers the schools turn in to the state?

Never know what will happen. Likely throw up a red flag. In the meeting Childress said the numbers were supposed to be the exact numbers that are turned into the state for funding. You don’t think some of these schools are setting up a different ID number and a different name for virtual students with all of the money still going to the same people just two different entities do you?? Never know. Lot of discrepancies in numbers and they are all lower which people in the meeting warned of this. To be perfectly honest with you, Gibson County leaving Single A may be easier some years. Dresden, Gleason, Greenfield, Bradford, Clarkrange, Pickett County all tough outs year in year out.

Any idea what enrollment number will start 4A or largest group?

Look at page eight on this thread one poster had it figured at every class with 84 schools but one and it has 83 and I think he has four A starting at 1159 kids. Never know but he may be accurate.
