School enrollment numbers

[Bluebird]

Does anyone know when the new enrollment numbers will be out for VHSL?  They still have it listed for March of 2022.

The next Executive Committee meeting is May 2nd. I assume the new ADM figures for the upcoming cycle will post sometime after that.

I could be wrong too. The March 31, 2022 ADM figures were posted July 31, 2023. The moral of the story with anything concerning VHSL, who the hell knows?!?!?

When would the next ADM figures take effect what season 2025?

If I remember correctly, ADM is taken every March even though each cycle is 2 years. The current cycle is 23/24-24/25 so the fall of 2025 would be the next cycle.

Any current expectations for schools moving up/down and/or changing districts (based, of course, on general observations within your respective communities)??

I think they are going to have to move the lines for class 1 just to keep the classifications even right now Region 1D has 16 teams and 2D has 12 but Lebanon could drop down to class 1 at any time and enrollment for Richlands and Marion are dipping below the 600 mark for the first time in a long with the popularity of virtual home school on the rise. I know Graham is close to that class 1 line as well. I do not know what the other side of the state looks like as enrollment for class 1 but sooner rather than later we might be in a situation where 2D is down to 10 or maybe even 9 teams which would make the Region playoffs even easier to get into which I know a lot of people on here hate.

1D currently has 16 teams. 
2D  currently has 12 teams. 
 

1C currently has 13 teams. 
2C currently has 12 teams. 
 

1B has 12
2B has 11

 

1A has 13
2A has 14

 

Traditional regional boundaries will have to be adjusted if many teams move up or down a classification at the same time.

At the current set up I see Union and Ridgeview dropping in 10-20 years if not sooner.

[Oopsie]

Union is around 575 and central 690 currently 

[redtiger]

Ridgeview is -600, which is crazy to me. When I was in school consolidation was discussed and the school would have had nearly 900 students. Which, that was a few decades ago.

 

Idk if Union will drop that much in 10 years or not, Wise Co just built additional rooms at Union Primary due to a growing enrollment. Imo the 20 year projection is more likely

That will become 13/13 when (if) Grundy's new school opens, so nothing needs changed.

It will if the post before mine, the one I was responding to, happens. Lebanon, Marion, Richlands and Graham all drop to Class 1. 
 

That’s a big “if” but based on the question the previous post was asking, something would need to change. Most likely a redraw of traditional regional boundaries. It’s more likely, nothing really changes. 

[redtiger]

Traditional regional boundaries,  at least as far as D/C have been moving East for some time. As Far SWVA continues to lose population that will continue, consolidation won't change that

[KW23]

Redtiger does Honaker have a lot returning this year?  Did y'all graduate a lot?

[redtiger]

Redtiger as in Haysi, not Honaker.

Idk for sure what Tiller and company have returning. 

[KW23]

LOL my bad

Well there are two teams close to each other that should be in class 2 and not 1...

Totally off topic here but a little nostalgia hit me on my recent week long trip to Indiana and not just the visit to the Knightstown gym where Hoosiers was filmed.

In the 4A state high school basketball championship game, Fishers High School were victorious.  Fishers are the Tigers, and their uniforms are red and white.

It was good to see a group of Red Tigers win a state title in person, even if it wasn't our old alma mater.  🙂

What percentage of McDowell County kids does the VHSL count as the future Tazewell County population?

Need to put Uncle Percy on the VHSL classification committee. Those 2 teams, guess you are talking about GW and Grayson Co., might get to stay in their District but state playoffs it would be  Division 2 for both of them.

They still haven’t come out with the ADM numbers yet. 

[Bluebird]

Still no ADM numbers yet.
