Need some help understanding-
I thought OHSAA classified according to enrollment. However when I read the 2022-23 enrollment figures I got confused.
Belpre with 122 boys - AA
Valley with 122 boys - AA
(there are several others)
Berkshire with 123 boys - A
Carrington Lincoln - 126 - A
What am I missing?
A AA, AAA classifications

Re: A AA, AAA classifications
The following is from the OHSAA website.
“The OHSAA member schools are divided geographically into six districts and are represented by District Athletic Boards. The District Athletic Boards conduct sectional and district tournament contests. Member school administrators are elected to six-year terms as District Board members by a vote of the high school principals of the member schools in that district. Each class (A, AA, AAA) has two members on the six-member board. One member is elected to the State Board of Directors and serves a two-year term. The Executive Director assigns a part time employee to serve as treasurer and secretary in each geographic district to handle administrative and financial responsibilities.”

Re: A AA, AAA classifications
To further clarify...
Approximately 1/3 of schools in each district are classified in each of A, AA, and AAA...based on total enrollment comparative to the rest of the schools in the district.
So for the 70-ish schools in the SE, 23-24 are in each classification. For the 60-ish schools in the east, 19-20 are in each classification.
It has NOTHING to do with sport divisions whatsoever.
