2025-2027 MHSAA Enrollment Numbers??

[coastfootballfanman]

Did the MHSAA ever release the enrollment numbers for the cycle we are currently in?? I can find the region releases for everything, but cannot track down the actual numbers.

Nope I don't think they ever did. I was looking for it the other day too.

Believe they were emailed to all participating schools.

The New MDE program does not post the 2025 numbers. If that continues no one will be able to look them up next year.

MDE did not post the data for 2024-2025 & 2025-26 school years. I believe if you wanted a guess of what your school numbers may be for 2026 you can use the 2023-2024 7th thru 9th grade numbers. I could take a look if necessary. My only interest will be the current top 10 or bottom 10 of a particular  class.

Region 8 meeting on the coast tonight. Region 7 meeting in Wesson on Wednesday.  We will see if anything passed as regard to reclassification,  etc.

All indications are the association likes things the way they are and while there are probably some coaches and admins who would prefer a different arrangement, I doubt there are enough to make a change.

 

I've spent some time examining TN's system and there are 6 classes for football but only 4 for basketball, baseball, and such, and maybe only 3 for sports with less participation. They also have 300 member schools that play football in Division 1 (essentially their private schools are Division 2). 

 

The largest 6A school is Collierville with almost 3000 students and that includes grades 9-12. They have 50 in 6A and the smallest is Whitehaven HS with just under 1500. I wonder if TSSAA believes this decreases the excitement of the postseason with such a large gap?

I don't see any changes for a number of years. There is just not enough schools to go beyond 7 classes. Changing the split could happen someday.
