I live in Alabama now, but California HS sports classification system is generally based on school population as well. There are five division, with Division 1 being the largest populated schools and Division 5 being the smallest populated schools. Now, there is also a rule that has an interesting twist that deals with highly successful sports teams within a specific classification.
If a school in a lower division is deemed to be dominating its classification at the state level i. If they continue to dominate the higher classification, that team is again moved up to a higher classification. They are normally classified as a Division 3 or 4 school due to its small population. However, their cross country program boys and girls have been so dominant in those divisions that they now compete in Division 1 against schools 3, 4, 5 times their size.
I do believe that they are in Division 1 for cross country this year. Again, it's an interesting twist. I actually think it's a good idea for the most part. Jan 4, 3, 82 Tulsa, OK. TiderMan said:.

Other states have different ways to classifying their schools but whatever the "highest number" generally is in that state means they are the bigger schools. And CoachJeff is right, both schools public and private down here recruit heavily even though it is not supposed to happen on the public side and if caught the player is ineligible.

One grade in a 7A school is equal to multiple 1A school's K enrollment. Dec 6, 8, Allen, Texas. BamaMoon said:. Aug 2, 2, 73 franklin, tennessee, usa. I'm not sure what it is like in Canada, but there is a really wide range in Alabama.
A 1A school will have at most students as compared to 7A, which TiderJ correctly says is, well, relatively huge. I believe they redo it every couple of years to try to account for student population shifts.
But some of the 1A schools are really small, with populations at 50 or even less -- basically just about every boy in the school plays football so they can have a team. And most of them play at least one other sport, baseball, basketball, track, etc. TiderJ said:. Ole Man Dan Hall of Fame. Apr 21, 7, 1, Gadsden, Al. Jan 15, 5, The Chukker or Archibalds.
