I don't understand these Florida classifications according to this they have 1676 enrollment for grades 9-12 47%male,if you average it out for Ohio football it would be like D2 or small D1 for the past year and BTW good luck tigers sounds like this team will be a hand full

With your numbers I don't see how they would be 8A

Data is from the 2009-10 school year.

Rough calculation with the numbers in your link would be (averaged out) with 1676 total students. Take away the Senior class would leave 1257 students with 47% of them being Male would leave them with 590 boys in grades 9-11 which would be D1 Basketball in Ohio.

[ohbuckeye2]

According to the Florida High School Athletic Association FFSAA.org Hialeah Gardens enrollment figures have them at 2910 Students as of 2012.

Hialea Gardens Enrollment figures the past few years according to FFSAA.org

2009 - 1676
2010 - 2397
2011 - 2567
2012 - 2910

Must have had a population boom lol.

I was reading where they built this school to relieve overcrowding from another school,from the looks of this they will have to build another one soon to relieve this one of overcrowding.lol
