IHSAA Implements Percentage-Based School Classifications.
The Indiana High School Athletic Association (IHSAA) has approved a new 20-25-25-30 classification model for its four-class sports of basketball, baseball, softball, and volleyball. Class 4A will make up the largest 20% of schools, with the next 25% in 3A, the next 25% in 2A, and the smallest 30% in Class A. The change will take effect in 2024-25 and replaces a proposal to set enrollment caps on each class. The IHSAA also plans to apply data from two years annually to determine tournament success factor starting in 2024-25.
