Indiana High School Athletics Conferences: Mid-Eastern – Northwestern

This is the second of three pages that lists all of the High School athletic conferences located in state of Indiana under the Indiana High School Athletic Association (IHSAA).

Indiana's Class System
Indiana's classes are determined by student enrollment, broken into classes of roughly equal size depending on sport. The 2011-12 school year marks a change in the classification period, as schools are reclassified in all class sports biennially instead of quadrennially.

It is also important to note that some schools (mostly private) are placed in classes higher than their enrollment. This is due to a new IHSAA rule that took effect for the 2012-13 year that dictates that school that wins two state championships in a row is automatically moved up into the next class.

Classes for 2020-21 through 2022-23: Most sports:
 * Class A: <325 Students.
 * Class AA: 325-565 Students.
 * Class AAA: 566-1089 Students.
