The Georgia High School Association reclassified its 472 member schools for the 2022-23 and 2023-24 academic years on Tuesday. Appeals can be made Nov. 10.
Below are the new classifications.
The numbers to the right of each school are those used to classify the schools. In parentheses are the school’s actual enrollment followed by the number of students that do not live in the school’s attendance zone. The out-of-zone students count three times in determining the final number used to classify.
As an example, North Gwinnett has 3,171 students. With North Gwinnett’s 42 students counting three times, the classification number used to determine classification comes to 3,171.
St. Pius has only 1,096 students, roughly a third of North Gwinnett’s. But because nearly all of St. Pius’ students live out-of-zone, their final reclassification number comes to 3,216. Both are slated to compete in Class 7A next year pending appeal.
The nine private schools in classes 5A to 2A won 42 of 87 available state titles during the 2020-21 academic year. St. Pius won three state titles and was the Class 5A all-sports champion as declared by the Georgia Athletic Directors Association. There are 223 public schools in those classifications.
