Curious: is this an average of how many students showed up from days 1-20? Or is this is the amount of students that showed up on the 20th day of school? If it's the amount of students that showed up on the 20th day of school, then it wouldn't surprised me if there are certain that are telling students to stay home *cough cough*.

Regardless, York Institute, Clarksburg, and Elizabethon all submitted today. Middleton submitted their number yesterday. West Tennessee (other than Shelby County) should be clear. 

The 20'th day enrollment is just that, the enrollment number on the 20'th day that school is in session...not a head count of who's on campus that day. The 20 day delay is to keep everyone honest, and not be able to "forget" to register kids before turning in the report to TSSAA.

Thanks for clearing this up.  I appreciate it.

From your last couple updates it seems I overlooked a couple or 3 in my initial comparison from last reclassification.

I'm not convinced there's a widespread issue with deflating enrollment counts. Those 20-day enrollment numbers aren't just for TSSAA use but broader application. I suspect there's as much (or more) incentive to keep those numbers up as school district funding is based largely on enrollment.

In the TSSAA member directory Adamsville has an enrollment of 550. If correct, 3A ???

If they do a complete reclassification, it will depend on where the breaks are made.  If they do the 20% change, then Adamsville would remain in 2a because the break is 556.

Our (Adamsville) official enrollment that we turned in a couple of weeks ago is 445.  We lost a lot of kids to Covid and they just haven't returned.

You might be surprised. One school a few years ago had about 100 under on the TSSAA listed enrollment compared to what was on the State Dept of Education site a few weeks later. It meant the difference between being 5A and 6A football.

Clarksburg could have submitted in 10 min. But not the smartest bunch over that way. It amazes me how that school keeps its doors open. But they are a proud bunch. They bleed red and white.

Tthey were waiting to see if they can find a way to get into 0A. Trying to fudge the numbers a little.
