All.... Last year the largest postseason class 4A qualifier Hillcrest had an enrollment of 1001.00. Not that it matters as it pertains to the Flyers because they play up but another decline in enrollment. The drop from 1146.00 to 1,078.00.
Now almost all enrollments have changed and figuring out who might land where this early is impossible especially with the expansion of postseason teams many which will have losing records.
If I recall correctly the Ihsa puts out a preseason designation classifying all of the schools? Then after several weeks of play a follow up with the "Playoff Outlook" with numbers. It's going to be one crazy year .... Ratsy

MC has almost 1,200 students? I thought the number quoted here has been around 600 for years. If it's over a thousand, the Caravan are in good shape for the future.
No, just doubled, due to all boys. The multiplied number is in the next column and it's just over 1,900 for MC.
All.... Doubled "then" multipled if that word helps. 595x2 = 1190.00 x 1.65 = 1,963.50 Ratsy
Lots of Private Schools with big drops in enrollment. That has to be worrisome to their administration.
That drop isn't from this current school year to next school year. The drop is real but already realized by schools...if that makes sense.
I feel like, outside of JCA, most of these schools have been declining for years, unfortunately.
Out of curiosity, how do has the 2026-27 classification cycle already been realized?
I could be wrong since IHSA has changed how they do classifications but my understanding is 2026-2027 classification is based on true 2025-2026 numbers. So basically the year before true enrollment then the obvious double if all boy/girl and multiplier if applicable.

All.... If falling enrollment isn't bad enough that new insidious "rolling three-year period" success factor implemented last year. Hilltoppers will once again when the postseason arrives be in class 6A. By the way 534 (881.10 multiplied) is class 4A playoff territory. Ratsy

All.... Success factor for all or no one. I do recall though tailgating with Titan fans in Chatham back in October many were quite vigilant (for weeks) busting future projected postseason numbers hoping 6A would not be their destination when the 256 qualifiers were announced. Go figure.... Ratsy
Marian Central and IC both under 300 kids. I know MCC has been declining for some years but I kinda lost track of them.
10 years ago MCC had almost 700 kids and now have 266 for 25-26 school year, yikes.

Every town has its Karens and it sounds like you attract a lot of them... Birds of a feather... Ya know!~
All..... Actually there are those that are comfortable with and embrace discriminatory policies like the success factor. Don't you know.Every town has its Karens and it sounds like you attract a lot of them... Birds of a feather... Ya know!~
