I don't see any way that 4 doesn't have 7 again. No one down here wants that travel for all their sports. West Harrison and Harrison Central are the same distance for pretty much everyone, while d'Iberville is the most centrally located and equal for everyone except St. Martin.

Some of that housing is in the new area. A lot of it hasn't finished yet plus they would all have to be 8th-11th grade which is a stretch. To top if off based on the last cycle and last years numbers, they are not in the middle they were one of the bottom 5.

It would benefit them in the long run too, Football is on the rise, but every other sport they have struggled to compete. About to have a new AD so it would be a fresh start.

Guess we will see. When they redrew the line they lost 75ish students to Vancleave. That came from an admin at one of the schools.

From what I heard over the weekend EC expects to be back down to 4A and Vancleave is expected to move up to 6A possibly joined by St. Martin. The redrawing of the county district lines is affecting all of their numbers.

I know Jackson county has one over each school. Not sure bout Harrison county.

Long Beach is on their own also. The kicker down here will always be the money/casino divide. The cities get a larger portion than the county schools according to how many are in their district. Long Beach has none so they don't receive any of that money. Jackson county has the same divide with Chevron/Ingalls. Pascagoula/Gautier gets all of that money. It will be hard to explain rolling 4A and 5A schools into districts that are already made up 6A/7A schools as cost savings. School Boards will have to expand and the Supt spot for that district would likely just become an asst under the new organization with the main Supt likely getting a pay raise. OS already has some of the highest paid Admins in the state while being on the lower end of teacher and supplement pay. Not to mention the highest cartags in the state funding the district while they constantly cry of being broke.

All the coastal counties are setup the same way. The larger city schools OS, Biloxi, Gulfport, Pascagoula/Gautier, etc are their own districts while everything else falls to one county district. East Central, Vancleave, and St. Martin under JCSD. WH, HC, and d'iberville under Harrison County.

They just redrew those districts due to the new housing developments. It would either be St Martin or Vancleave.

OS had about 40 go to homeschool. Lost close to 200 total from last year district wide. Looks like they would have been at 455 off last years numbers. That alone goes to show how much movement there is likely to be.

I will say remember on some of the borderline schools that there will be movement with the private schools taking up spots. i.e. St Pats likely ending up in 5A and opening slots and shifting numbers down.

I know in OS there are 170 students that moved either out of state, private school, or to another district in the state. They track all of it.

Found it. Looks like Murrah will drop a long way. Last team in 6A or the top of 5A depending on how many more they lost.

I’ll have to go back and look. I couldn’t find that link. Based on last years 7th-10th numbers it looks like Greenville may be the last 7A school. That was the only change I saw there with Meridian and Murrah going down.

Who do you have at the bottom of 7A? The Jackson schools make my head spin trying to figure out what MS feeds what HS
