24-25 DOE Enrollments

[HoopsCoach]

The DOE has released enrollment data from the fall count day for the 24-25 school year.  Here are the enrollments for each school for grades 9-12.  This year is the first of a two year alignment cycle, so these numbers will NOT be used for realignment.  I am just sharing this data to give an idea of the enrollment trends.  Note that there always seems to be a few schools that have slightly different numbers when the IHSAA releases their enrollments for classification in a realignment year.  

Schools with an * did not report their data to the DOE, so their enrollments are listed as the same as the number they gave the IHSAA in 2024.  I am only listing the schools in order by enrollment and not including any projections for the split between classes.  This data also does not reflect any potential success factor changes.

If these numbers hold, New Pal will remain 3A in hoops for at least 1-2 more cycles (and Kokomo will drop to 3A in basketball). 

Mt. Vernon will move up to 5A in football (Greenfield-Central would, but two smaller Success Factor schools - Cathedral & New Pal - will likely keep them in 4A). 

Also in the Hoosier Heritage, looks like Delta's stay in 3A will be short-lived.

Not much change in this area. Providence looks like it's for sure up to 2A regardless. 

[JQWL]

I wish the IHSAA would use the current year's enrollment for the current year's classifications.

[BTF]

North Side dropping to 4A could be interesting. Never been to the state finals, that could change.

The split between 3A/4A in basketball should be around the 80th/81st/82nd largest school.  Kokomo would be safely in 4A at #67.  New Pal is right on the line at #80.

Wish this list also had the non-football playing schools on it,  just for reference.

I'd forgotten Class 4A was not the largest 64, but the top 20%. In that case, Kokomo is safely 4A and it looks like New Pal's stay in 3A will be short-lived, as NPHS is adding about 40-50 high school students per year right now.

Not really feasible, because the enrollments aren't taken until well into the school year and close to the time of the fall tournament season to begin.

How long does it really take to enter them in a spread sheet and sort them? I feel like I could do that, seed the entire tournament, and do a selection show in the same day. I'm going to propose the IHSAA hires me to arrange their tournaments. I want to be called The Game Maker like on Hunger Games.

It begs the question of how their enrollment numbers for classification were off by so much.

Some of these are football, but 8-man like TPC, Indiana Deaf, RCA, Dugger Union.

It begs the question of how their enrollment numbers for classification were off by so much.

My honest non conspiracy theory thoughts? Parents had to make a choice during covid....numbers went down.....now they are coming back....winning state title may help. Haha. Need to get Paoli to lose some more and see how they do in 1A.

Correct.  I don’t put those schools in the list of football schools because they are not included in the IHSAA alignments and do not participate in the 11-man football state tournaments.

How long does it really take to enter them in a spread sheet and sort them? I feel like I could do that, seed the entire tournament, and do a selection show in the same day. I'm going to propose the IHSAA hires me to arrange their tournaments. I want to be called The Game Maker like on Hunger Games.

It's harder than you'd think.

While I agree with JQWL that this could be done, I also understand that it could be difficult.  Especially in the current climate where students move to different schools more often than before.  I would think this happens much more in your larger communities/schools which would mean enrollment numbers are almost constantly changing. 

 

All of that said, how in the world can the 1A state champs go from an enrollment that classifies them in 1A and then the next time the count comes out they are significantly larger than multiple 2A teams, including the 2A champs and runner up.  That is ridiculous.

It takes a lot longer than you think, especially because there are some adjustments to the DOE data due to 13th-year students, people in career centers, et al.

Providence in classifications 

2019/2020-385

2022/2023- 327

2024/2025- 371

Currently 418

 

Last enrollment breakdown (2024-25) freshman-102, sophomores-104, juniors-87, seniors-78. 

As I said looks like smaller classes during covid enrollment times. Although now bigger then recent history.

I'd forgotten Class 4A was not the largest 64, but the top 20%. In that case, Kokomo is safely 4A and it looks like New Pal's stay in 3A will be short-lived, as NPHS is adding about 40-50 high school students per year right now. 

Not really feasible, because the enrollments aren't taken until well into the school year and close to the time of the fall tournament season to begin. 

It could easily be done in this day and age.  In my opinion, the reclassifications should be done every year.

Covid?? Really?

 

It is always interesting that Fort Wayne Lures is at a 2A enrollment until the success factor pushes them to 3A.  Then, they have a healthy 3A enrollment.

And as to your bolded comment: this has actually been a trend in our area, the open enrollment, and it actually puts a lot of stress on smaller schools because literally every student counts toward funding.

I would imagine that the answer to this question would be similar to the answer for how does a school like Traders Point see their enrollment drop so fast.  I don't know why that has happened and I'm not fishing there, but just saying that it seems like wild enrollment fluctuations both positive and negative, are not completely unheard of.  I would imagine that at the end of the day it probably has to do with the fact that both Providence and Traders Point are P/P, but I'm not familiar enough with either school to comment with any certainty.

It also seems to me that you are always going to have this issue with re-classing.  Years ago, I was at Benton Central and we were constantly looking to see if we were going to be the smallest 2A or the biggest 3A, so despite my current situation, I have been there.  Ultimately, I'm sure there are other alternatives to reshuffling the deck every single year, which would seem to me to be incredibly chaotic.
