Classifications announced for 2024-25, 2025-26
The Indiana High School Athletic Association announced today the new classifications for IHSAA member schools in the sports of boys and girls basketball, football, boys and girls soccer, and girls volleyball for the next two school years. The enrollment figures – the total of boys and girls in grades 9‐12 – were submitted by the schools to the Indiana Department of Education last fall and are used to determine the classifications in all team sports.

The four-class sports of baseball, basketball, softball, and volleyball are being classified using a new 20-25-25-30 ratio that was approved by the IHSAA Executive Committee last June. That plan places the largest 20% of schools in Class 4A, the next 25% in Class 3A, the next 25% in 2A and the smallest 30% in Class 1A. Additionally, classifying the four-class sports will be based on the entire membership total and not only those schools participating in each sport effectively keeping sectional alignments similar across each sport.
Football (six classes) and soccer (three classes) are not affected and will continue as they have in previous years.
Tournament Success Factor points have been totaled over the last two years and specific teams placed in their appropriate class in each sport.
Sectional groupings for each sport (except for softball and baseball) will be announced later this spring following approval of the IHSAA Executive Committee. Softball and baseball sectional groupings will be released in August following the committee’s first meeting of the new school year.

One school that joined the IHSAA membership in the last four years would become eligible for state tournament participation – pending Executive Committee approval – during the two-year period. KIPP Indy Legacy would be eligible beginning in 2024-25.
