TheMaximumHornetSting Posted October 2, 2019 Report Share Posted October 2, 2019 Basically the gist of it... Schools with open enrollment could possibly be bumped up 2 classes from their current class. Basically students who live outside of a schools zone will be counted as 2 students instead of one... This means open enrollment or schools who serve students outside of their zone in anyway will have those students counted as 2 students. https://accesswdun.com/article/2019/10/836733/ghsa-multiplier-story 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HawgGoneIt Posted October 2, 2019 Report Share Posted October 2, 2019 The bump up used to be limited to 2 classifications. It can now be more if the multiplier dictates it. Edit: this story says 2 classifications. I read one yesterday that I thought said it could go more if the multiplier dictated. I need to go find that and reread Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HawgGoneIt Posted October 2, 2019 Report Share Posted October 2, 2019 It does say a 2 class jump when dictated by the multiplier in the previous story I read as well. I do wonder what would happen if the multiplier ever dictated more though. I suppose that would require a huge amount of out of district kids.

I think at one time Buford was forced to play up a classification higher than their actual enrollment dictated due to high number of out of district kids under the old 3% rule or whatever it was. I assume they could be affected one way or the other from the new multiplier. Idk about any others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HawgGoneIt Posted October 2, 2019 Report Share Posted October 2, 2019 Here's a better story that includes a few names of schools who could be affected. Mostly smaller class schools and private schools I think. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.ajc.com/blog/high-school-sports/ghsa-new-multiplier-could-bump-schools-classes/N2Rn8Wnf9flUrc5YirWAbP/amp.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now the only schools I could think of that this would hurt are private schools and open enrollment schools.... Benedictine is already 3A (All boys school) with a 1A enrollment so I don't think they'll be affected. Buford could get bumped up to 6A or 7A. Blessed Trinity possibly get bumped to 6A... Carrollton to 6A or 7A Rome 6A or 7A Cartersville could get bumped as well... That's all that hits me at the moment... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMaximumHornetSting Posted October 2, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2019 The Gwinnett schools are safe as most of them are already 7A... Dacula is the only 6A school in Gwinnett... But idk what their ratio is... @ATLien12x @Fred do y'all know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a time when club ball is apparently getting a foothold in other places, the thought here is to keep the field more level by recognizing that not all schools are playing by the same rules or with equal jurisdictions giving some an advantage over others. I will be interested to see which schools are most affected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now all these private schools are forced to play up they're not gonna wanna sit back and have to get stomped out by the likes of Grayson,Mceachern and Marietta they're gonna wanna compete... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idk if any would be forced all the way to 7A. Aren't most 3A or 4A schools right now? I think Buford was 4A technically by head count but were forced to 5A by the 3% rule. What this does is make schools/teams like them think harder about accepting as many out of district kids or else be forced even higher in class. Picking on Buford for no real reason... They may be happy right now as a force in 5A. Not sure if they'd want to keep accepting additional out of district kids if it forces them to move up another class. I may have missed it, but, isn't the force up in all sports as well? If so. This affects hoops, tennis, golf and etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's easy to get caught up in just football because that's what we mainly discuss here, but, if a school like Carrolton is good at football but not so much in other sports, and suddenly all the sports are forced into 6A, that could be pretty tough on the sports they aren't as good at. It makes them have to weigh that in their thoughts as they accept new out of district students. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

badrouter Posted October 2, 2019 Report Share Posted October 2, 2019 Maybe they can somehow cap the size of the largest class, and then start bumping schools that are on the lowest end back down into the other classes. I kinda like this idea! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many of us did you see get excited about the possibility of our weak classes getting weaker? How many? Answer... None... All this is gonna do is make our good teams from those classes move up....

I kinda like this idea! The top class, 7A, is capped at the largest 10% of population. To some extent a lower end of the 10% population could be bumped back to 6A by a 5A school operating with a huge number of out of district kids getting bumped into the top 10%. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JCGIII Posted October 2, 2019 Report Share Posted October 2, 2019 8 hours ago, RedZone said: How many open enrollment schools in GA's highest class and who might they be? Technically none. Marietta is a city school. Not affiliated with Cobb County. Valdosta in 6A is another city school. They can accept students from inside their respective counties. Buford, Carrollton, and Cartersville can do the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
