8 classes is here...and for the better if done right.
Charter schools (including the 4 added last week) = 58
Everyone else = 382
Total schools = 440
While it would be nice for an even 55 split all the way down - we have 58 schools who do not play football (46 charter and 12 public) - so I propose a breakdown like such:

While it would be nice for an even 55 split all the way down - we have 58 schools who do not play football (46 charter and 12 public) - so I propose a breakdown like such:
| **Not enough football playing charter schools to create their own classification |
| **Too many non-football schools in the lower classifications |
| **East/West split in football couldn't be done until playoffs in 1A - heavy PO travel |
| NonFB Split | SCHOOLS | EAST | WEST | PLAYOFFS |
| 1A - No FB | 58 | 31 | 27 | 32 |
| 2A | 60 | 30 | 30 | 32 |
| 3A | 60 | 30 | 30 | 32 |
| 4A | 54 | 24 | 30 | 32 |
| 5A | 54 | 24 | 30 | 32 |
| 6A | 54 | 28 | 26 | 32 |
| 7A | 50 | 26 | 24 | 32 |
| 8A | 50 | 30 | 20 | 32 |
| 440 | 223 | 217 | 256 |
| NonFB Split | **Separate NFB schools allows for smooth 2A-8A class breakdown and E/W split (per class) pre-playoff |
| 1A - No FB | **Only 5 of the non-FB schools are above 600 ADM (91% within 542 ADM) |
| 2A | **422 ADM Diff - Mean ADM 396 (21 under - 39 above (within 18 - not ideal)) lower end extreme |
| 3A | **194 ADM Diff - Mean ADM 681 (29 under - 31 above (within 2 - excellent)) |
| 4A | **148 ADM Diff - Mean ADM 856 (24 under - 30 above (within 6 - great)) |
| 5A | **239 ADM Diff - Mean ADM 1059 (27 under - 27 above (even - perfect outcome)) |
| 6A | **376 ADM Diff - Mean ADM 1344 (27 under - 27 above (even- perfect outcome)) |
| 7A | **404 ADM Diff - Mean ADM 1708 (27 under - 23 above (within 4 - great)) |
| 8A | **1712 ADM Diff - Mean ADM 2314 (29 under - 21 above (within 8 - good)) |
