The Louisiana High School Athletic Association (LHSAA) has announced details for the upcoming 2026–2028 reclassification period, releasing preliminary school placements ahead of its scheduled meetings.

The reclassification process determines where member schools of the LHSAA will compete for the next two academic years (2026-28), including any adjustments to class or select/non-select designations. 

Jonesboro-Hodge is shown to be classified as a Class A School and will compete in Division IV “non-select” school postseason activities. Quitman is listed as a “non-select” Class B school and will compete in Division V in boys and girls basketball, baseball, softball, and cross country, while being placed in Division IV for tennis, Division III in boys golf, and Division II in girls golf. Weston is shown to be a “non-select” school and in Division V for boys and girls basketball, baseball, softball, and cross country, with a Division IV designation for boys golf and tennis, and Division III in girls golf. 

Classification is determined by the total number of students in each school, unless a request to “play up” is received, meaning that the school wishes to play in a higher classification.

Basic classification guidelines broken down by enrollment numbers are:

Class 5A  (1033 and up)
Class 4A (608 – 1032)
Class 3A (397 – 607)
Class 2A (231 – 396)
Class A (1 – 230)
Class B (111 -230)
Class C (1-106)

Note: Schools that don’t play football are classified as a Class B or C school.

Student body enrollment numbers of each Jackson Parish school show Quitman High School to have the most students at 213, followed by Jonesboro-Hodge High School with 197, and Weston with 177 students in the 9th – 12th grades. 

Appeals of classifications will be heard beginning on November 6, while the final classification meeting is set for December 3rd.
