Majority of the smaller classifications schools are north of I-20. in 1A only 2 districts are below I-20. In 2 and 3A there are 3 below 1-20 and 1 that is along I-20. North Mississippi has many small towns with small schools. Over they years these schools have been less open to consolidation that has happened more frequently in South Mississippi. Now a a days when districts consolidate is most often state mandated. The Delta has recently seen some consolidation, but in south Mississippi most small schools have consolidated years ago. Only thing that could happen now is if districts decide to close a small school and consolidate students. I am hearing around Jackson the big 4 Private are eyeballing joining the MHSAA. I heard from a good source yesterday some talks have already been had but the MAIS does not want them to leave. They realize if they do it will fold, but I think those four have realize for them to continue to grow and survive they can not prop up the MAIS. I think many will watch and see how the PCS deal works out this year. If that happened in the next few years we could see a large influx of private schools joining the MHSAA.

1A Region 7 currently has MSD and Leake County above I-20. In 2A Region 5 has 2 above I-20 both Lake and Scott Central.  Region 6 has 3 above I-20 Pelahatchie, Pisgah, and St Andrew's. In 3A, Region 5 has Kemper County and Noxubee County above I-20. In 4A you have Forest, Morton, and Lanier above I-20.

Bert what was some region 5 clarkdale,enterprise,quitman,ne jones and morton going to be next year?

Morton will stay 4A something like the 10th grade is 160+ students.

NE Jones will possibly go up to 5A.

Quitman is said to have turned in 346 which is border line 4A/3A.

Clarkdale and Enterprise will be borderline 3A/2A.

I was just told that Raleigh turned in between 220-225. I was also told they will be most likely the largest 2A. And that they will be 2A. Where the 19 to 25 kids went to since last October I don’t know.  It is a gain of at least 9 to 14 from 2022 Reclassification. With that being said, 2023 Comparison School to the right:

2022 Bottom 5 3A.         2023

Mantatchie 231.          Collins 226

Wesson 227.               Wesson 225

East Webster 227.      Scott Cent 223

Enterprise Clarke 223. St Andrew's ???

Perry Central 222.        East Union 221

2022 Top 5 2A

St Andrew's 221.          Hatley 219

Union 220.                    Wilk Co. 217

Water Valley 218.         Clarkdale 215

Charleston 215.           Perry Cent 214

Pisgah 214.                  O'Bannon 213

2022 Bottom 5 2A

West Lincoln 162.        Leake Co 168

Hamilton 161.              Bog Chitto 165 

Ingomar 160.               W Lincoln 159

Richton 158.                 Velma Jck 155 

Sebastopol 157.           Smithville 155

2022 Top 5 1A

East Marion 156.          T'ville. 155

Enterprise Lincoln 154. Hamilton 153

Velma Jackson 151.     Leflore Co 153

Strayhorn 151.               Calh City 152

Pine Grove 151.            W Tally 152

I think it's safe to say splits will be in the same range. Interesting to see who goes where.

I have heard that 224 is the exact number for Raleigh.

I had Byhalia (336) and Shannon (343) both dropping to 3A with Shannon as the largest after 2023 numbers. Amory will be 3A and probably will float. Tornado probably had some looking for home outside Amory.

I am told than shannon had many transfers from the tupelo area due to increased out of district fees and that they will have an increase from the past count. however i do not have their final count

That’s probably low 3A if so. I’m thinking around 220 is gonna be the 2A/3A cutoff but that’s simply just going off previous years. I’m curious what Tville’s numbers were

Curious as to where the 18 students left. And I did not count SPED because of double counting.

My source said largest 2A. I am curious if enough students Raleigh (18) and Mize (7) did they transfer to Taylorsville and will Taylorsville be 2A as well. If Pisgah, Scott Central, and Union goes up whose in Region 5 and 6.

There is no way Raleigh lost 18 students. Something is off with last years reported numbers or something. Or Raleigh underreported. I don’t think they lost that many students. I heard Tville gained, but I also heard they have lost.

I believe South 3A would be easier to win. So I don't know! 2A is much tougher to win especially the top 2 in Region 5, 6, and 8.

Huge over reporting to MDE from a year ago maybe. You go from 211 to 242 with a larger 8th grade to 224 is questionable. I want to see the 9th grade numbers. I know the 11th grades were low.

Doesn't the State Department still send out people for head counts? Is this used at all? I know they used do it to verify the # because it determines funding. 

Not hat I'm aware of. They stopped that 15 years ago I think at least

Everything including every students schedule is emailed to Jackson.

That’s what I’m suspecting. I am thinking numbers last year was over reported

Perhaps so! I went back to confirm Smith County numbers from 2022 and 2024. The only difference i found was Raleigh had 240 and not 242 in 2023. Mize and Taylorsville numbers are correct. So Mize gained 18 and lost 7. Taylorsville gained 7 and 2024 ?

Will Jim Hill want all there sports to be removed from the ability to play for a championship?

No they have been competitive in basketball some years. Problems in Jackson exist with new AD. Jim Hill got the Wingfield students according their updated feeder program unless they moved. So I expect they will be 7A.

Have you heard any numbers for:

Wesson, Enterprise Clarke, St Andrew's, Scott Central, Collins, Water Valley, East Webster, Union, Charleston, and Perry Central??

If Prep, JA, MRA & Hartfield did move to MHSAA, they should be forced to play 7A.

And the Jackson public schools should all be allowed to drop down a class for competitive reasons. Then you may not have any wanting to go independent.

20 mile radius for recruiting kicks in they may stay where they are at.

Keep that kind of talk going.  If any of the large MAIS schools go MHSAA there will be an immediate penalty against their competitiveness. That's a fact.

They might get through one round of reclassification before a multiplier is introduced in some form. It might be you play up 2 classes. Then we go to 8 classes if everyone jumps shift. I prefer 6 or 8 schools per region. It cuts out that finding another school or an open date.

They will have to get use to playing all region games at the end of the season. There won't be Hartfield vs JA in September unless there are 8 team regions.
