Here is who can be moving up/down based on 2025 numbers:

7A Up Greenville,  Olive Branch, 24 schools

6A Down Meridian, Pearl, Murrah

6A Up South Jones 24 schools 

5A Down Neshoba Central, Gautier

5A Up Corinth 24 schools

4A Down Sumrall, Lanier, Purvis, Caledonia

4A Up St Patrick, St Stanislaus 41 schools 

3A Down Byhalia, Rosa Fort

3A Up North Tippah ? Exactly date of Consolidation is, Lake, Strayhorn, Clarkdale 40 schools 

2A Down Belmont, Holly Springs, Aberdeen,  T Edwards 

2A Up Bogue Chitto, Vardaman, Riverside,  HW Byers,  *Pine Grove 40 schools

1A Down JZ George, Leland, Velma Jackson, Hamilton 45 schools

*Non Football 

10 non football in 1A

2 non football in 2A

1 non football in 3A

 

 

No thoughts on Lafayette moving from 5A to 6A? Maybe I am off base there.  I'm pretty sure corinth has a lower figure than previous so i doubt they go up from 4A to 5A. I agree on byhalia and rosa fort dropping from 4A to 3A but Ripley sure thinks they drop to 3A also and mooreville seems to want to drop to 3A. I still think Booneville will be at or near the 3A to 4A line.  North Tippah will be a 3A school starting in august of 27 but I'm told that most of the current admin at walnut and falkner still have no idea what their new role will be after the consolidation. Also , Myrtle sure thinks they are dropping from 2A to 1A.

Not official of course but Lafayette supposedly has like 740.....Corinth 466.  no numbers but ripley claims to have less than booneville...byhalia and rosa fort are about right from what I'm told. and Myrtle claims to have 143.....It's gonna be some intriguing waiting on all this.

That's a big jump for Lafayette.  Makes me wonder where those kids came from.

Id rather Meridian go north and keep Jim Hill in the south. LOL

i agree on that.  I just feel that some of these have turned in numbers quite different from their 2025 figures.   I anxiously await

Up or down 15 students i can see due to transfers, dropouts, homeschooling,  going to private schools, failing 8th graders, promoting juniors from 11th to 12th grade, etc. But 124 plus for Lafayette that's alot of students moving in, failing 11th grade, etc. And don't get me wrong i can see parents to Oxford area, enrolling their students at Ole Miss , letting children live at home while attending college and have maybe 1 or 2 other children that fit into the 9th thru 11th grades. I know they do it because a Nurse high up at UMC moved to Starkville for her son to live at home while he attended MSU and she got a job at Oktibbeha hospital.  I worked with her husband before he left for another job as salesman. Something similar to what Meridian coach is doing now.

Unofficial Numbers I've heard for this count are Amory 312, Booneville 310, Mooreville 318, Ripley 308. Should be interesting to see where that cut line is for 3 and 4A.

Then 2 schools from Region 4 currently area maybe coming South or from lower Delta.

You think they would all go 4? or possibly 3. That cut line is going to be very interesting for the middle classes. Could see a lot of movement compared to the last reclass.

I will think the numbers from Louisville, Mendenhall,  Richland, Byhalia,  may settle the line up or down. St Stanislaus  and St Patrick numbers will be important especially St Stanislaus once their numbers are doubled.

According to Lafayette's accountability rating they have to have people moving in to work on the battery plant in Marshall County and Ole Miss purposes.
