First, I think Mshsaa got the numbers for class 2-5 wrong. I removed all schools moving to 8 man, added the Clayton/Brentwood co-op and add Pleasant Hope and KC Kipp, who appear to have varsity schedules. That equaled 308 schools. With class 6 at 42, class 1 at 36, class 2-5 averages out to 57/58 per class. So either Mshsaa is flat out lying or they know of 10 schools not playing 11 man next season.
Second, you'll notice enrollment #s are different for public and charter schools. I pulled those from DESE. They are the current 9th thru 11th grade classes currently being reported.
Third, you will also notice it will cause private schools to bump in classes as well. For example, you will find Lutheran North in class 4.
