Do you know if schools are allowed to move up any number of classifications or just one? I've heard different things regarding this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll be interesting what some of the 2A schools will do Looks like our 2A school will be playing up in 3A for the next 4 years since TSSAA clowned around with the numbers. We had a huge senior class last year that was counted and an unusually small freshman class that wasn't. Using the normal method of counting students, we are in the 490's. Great to hear they are locking this in for 4 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great to hear they are locking this in for 4 years. Classification definitely came at a bad time for yall. Something else to ponder: By Innovation Academy coming onboard this classification it pushed a couple schools up. Had they not come on board there would have been 299 schools split instead of 300. When there's an odd number the smallest class gets the "extra" school. Class 1A would have gotten 51 schools this classification because Houston Co and Mitchell both have the same enrollment at 354. That would have place both in 1A. 2A would get the next 50. From Gordonsville as the smallest to Community as the largest. 3A next 50. Meigs Co to Lakeland Prep. 4A next 50. Jackson South Side to Glencliff and Clinton. 5A next 49. Tullahoma to Whitehaven. 6A the largest 49. Morristown-Hamblen to Collierville.

Add in the two new metro 2A Nashville schools that dropped 20% from last classification and one can see how great a job TSSAA is doing.

I wished the membership would demand reclassification every 2 years. I think it's better than looking at the 20% increase/decrease every 2 years. That's a drastic change in such a short timeframe. Every 2 years is better. It only affects the schools that "teeter" on the enrollment break numbers anyways. Instead of spending 4 years in a higher class it would be only 2 maybe. Let another "teeter" take their turn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indian Posted October 14 Author Report Share Posted October 14 Would like to see them look at dividing at a specific number, maybe 450, 700, 1200, 1600 than having it necessarily equal. Too late now. Maybe in 28. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RocketHouse Posted October 14 Report Share Posted October 14 And is CPA the only school forced to compete up because of being successful? 4A champion comes to 2A. 3-time 3A runner up is now in 2A. Alcoa won how many times and stays put? CPA has to move up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too late now. Maybe in 28. In a perfect world that would be great. In the world we live in there would be half the schools in every classification at 449,699,etc... Throwing out a hard and fast number would only serve to be used as a target. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
