Compiled by Ewert Sports from available records. Enrollment and division assignments apply to the selected sport and season and may be revised. This is a school-size listing, not an official team ranking.

School enrollment lists and year-to-year changes

Choose a list and year to see every listed team; the division buttons above the table show one division. Each list is ordered largest to smallest; equal sizes are listed alphabetically.

A program's enrollment and division history, season by season, and school-wide enrollment growth are on its school page: open the school and choose Enrollment. A program's division enrollment can differ from the school's annual student count, especially for co-ops. Missing years remain unfilled rather than estimated.

About division adjustments

Each sport has its own divisions. Assignments can reflect enrollment, co-ops, performance-factor decisions and approved requests; we do not calculate them from school size alone. Football playoff qualifying points are separate from division placement.

* marks a documented performance-factor move up. ↑ and ↓ mark other documented moves. † marks a performance-factor review, retained division or enrollment tiebreak; it does not necessarily mean the team moved. ‡ marks a listed ineligible program. Adjustment explanations are still being backfilled for older seasons.

Coverage varies by sport and year; the scope shown above describes the selected table. Older football fields include only the programs listed in that dated postseason field. School-size row numbers increase without ties; equal enrollments are ordered alphabetically.

Football (8-man)

2026–27 · Three-year enrollment averages

Browse & search 8-player →

Printed three-year program averages from WIAA's Tier 1 list, separate from individual-school histories and annual student counts.

Source names only; no school links or cross-year comparisons. An average alone does not establish playoff eligibility.

The football division and search filters above apply to the 11-player tables; this separate section shows all listed 8-player programs for the same year.

WIAA source and year notes

The WIAA assignments page links this as the 2026–27 edition. Each row retains its printed SchoolYear. 68 of 70 rows print 2026-2027; other printed spans are preserved in their row notes.

Program names are shown as printed in this source edition.

This source has no assigned divisions. Its listed programs do not establish a complete statewide census or a playoff field.
