Team Classifications

Non-Public, Small Public & Large Public

🏫 TEAM CLASSIFICATIONS

NJISRA ski teams are grouped into the following classifications:

  • Non-Public
  • Small Public
  • Large Public

📊 How Public School Teams Are Classified

Public school classifications are based on student enrollment in grades 9–11, using data certified by the New Jersey Department of Education.

  • Large Public: Schools with higher enrollment
  • Small Public: Schools with lower enrollment

🔄 Group Assignment Process

  • Public school teams are divided evenly between the Small and Large classifications.
  • If there's an odd number of schools, the extra team is assigned to the Small Public group.

📅 Annual Review

  • Classifications are reviewed and updated yearly.
  • Final group assignments are announced before the first NJISRA race of the season.
