Editor’s Note: The High School Football America national, regional and state rankings are developed using our proprietary algorithm.

We get a lot of questions about our criteria for medium and small schools. We use classifications instead of enrollment. For example, in a state with six classifications -—1A & 2A are considered small school; 3A & 4A are medium; and 5A and 6A are large schools.
