CLASSIFICATION INFORMATION

Classification for TSSAA schools is for a four-year period, 2001-2002, 2002-2003, 2003-2004, and 2004-2005. At the end of the first two-year period, new schools will be added and only schools whose 2002 enrollment has changed by +/-20% of their 2000 enrollment will be moved, provided the increase or decrease moves them to another classification. The TSSAA has taken enrollments for 2000 and 2002 from the State Department of Education based on the fifth month enrollment for each of these two years, as supplied by the local board of education to the State Department of Education. The same formula was applied in both cases to determine enrollment figures for grades 9-12.

Below are three lists: (1) All current schools with their enrollments; (2) All current schools with +/-20% or more change; and (3) All new schools in 2003-2004 and 2004-2005 and their projected enrollments.

All schools whose enrollment has moved them to a lower classification have until May 20 to notify TSSAA if they desire to move or remain in the higher classification. The TSSAA Board of Control, at its June 4-6 meeting, will place the affected schools and new schools in districts and regions in all sports.
