The GHSA’s reclassification committee is considering increasing the multiplier on out-of-zone students, which would put private and city schools at higher risk of being moved into higher classifications starting in 2022-23. Also at risk are non-city public schools with high out-of-zone percentages, most of which aren’t finishing especially high in all-sports standings. Here are the percentage of students from out of zone as reported by larger city and private schools (those in Class 2A or higher) in 2019 along with all non-city public schools with 25% or higher out-of-zone enrollment in 2019. The typical GHSA school had 8.6% out-of-zone students in 2019.
