Indiana's Class System

Indiana's classes are determined by student enrollment, broken into classes of roughly equal size depending on sport. The 2011-12 school year marks a change in the classification period, as schools are reclassified in all class sports biennially instead of quadrennially.

Classes for 2011-12 through 2012-13: Most sports:

• Class A: <325 Students.
• Class AA: 325-565 Students.
• Class AAA: 566-1089 Students.
• Class AAAA: >1089 Students.

Football:

• Class A: <418 students
• Class AA: 418-591 students
• Class AAA: 592-849 students
• Class AAAA: 850-1579 students
• Class AAAAA: >1579 Students.

Soccer:
