The North Tama school district is tied for fifth-highest enrollment in grades 9-11 in the new class structure laid out by the IGHSAU effective with softball season. This is a good thing, because it means less competition against larger schools.
The complete list is here (PDF). Notice that the numbers validate what I said earlier: The five-class structure wouldn’t have needed to happen if Valley had split up a decade ago and Des Moines redrew its boundaries; Hoover is now the largest 4A school and North the smallest 5A. The average for the five Des Moines schools is 1245, slightly on the high end of the 5A lineup. Even so, Valley has 324 students more than No. 2 Des Moines Lincoln — which in itself would be the tenth-largest 3A school, right above Humboldt and South Tama.
