FarmTeam Posted July 27, 2023 Report Share Posted July 27, 2023 Current enrollment at Eagleton is around 420 (per TSSAA classification). The max capacity of the building is ~700 right now. Unless they plan to significantly expand their space, I don’t see them moving above 3A. So unless the school system buys up a lot of surrounding residential & commercial land (which takes money & market value of houses is outrageous & likely won’t come down anytime soon), then I don’t see a 4A jump happening. Hopefully for their sake, it wont even go to 3A, for the best academic & athletic success of those students. The Eagleton community and its demographic will best be served by a small K-12 school, which provides huge continuity for kids (that big schools don’t), throughout their entire school experience, which was the entire premise behind the decision to create ECCA in the first place. Good things happening at that school. Gonna be fun to watch! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingDawg Posted August 10, 2023 Report Share Posted August 10, 2023 (edited) Eagleton’s enrollment is about 320. They approximated the enrollment for when they will have seniors next year to 420 for classification purposes. So, they are, numbers wise, a 1A school this year.

TSSAAfootball Posted August 10, 2023 Report Share Posted August 10, 2023 Did they just hire a new OC or just announce it yesterday? Seems kinda late to hire an OC. Eagleton tweeted that Scott Branton is their OC yesterday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
