AHSAA Schools Are Reclassified For 2012-14

 

MONTGOMERY  -  Schools in the Alabama High School Athletic Association have been reclassified for the 2012-13 and 2013-14 school years, according to an announcement Wednesday by Steve Savarese, Executive Director.

The reclassification alignment was approved by the Central Board of Control at its fall meeting Wednesday. The process is implemented every two years to in order to  consider the changing enrollments of schools, school consolidations and closings, new schools and association members and current member schools adding sports to their interscholastic program. Classifying member schools for the purpose of athletic competition is one of the Central Board's duties under Article VII of the AHSAA Constitution.

Schools will remain divided into six classifications (1A, 2A, 3A, 4A, 5A, 6A) for competition in championship programs. The current two-year classification period ends with the 2011-12 school year. The new alignments will go into effect in the fall of 2012.

Classification was based on the Average Daily Membership (ADM) figures furnished by the State Department of Education for the upper three grades (10-12) plus ninth grade holdbacks.  Schools with the largest enrollments are placed in Class 6A, the next largest in Class 5A, etc.

An index of 1.35 was used to determine the enrollment figure for classifying each private school member.  Each private school student counts 1.35 for classification purposes.

Alignments are made for each sport in each class, based on the number of schools participating in a sport. 

The reclassification alignment for football is listed below. The 2012-13 and 2013-14 Basketball alignment will be made available  online at www.ahsaa.com. Other sports alignments will be posted online as they are completed.
