It says some will move up some will move down. Some in every division.

[J-Mike]

If anyone is curious on which 12 schools the article is mentioning, here they are: 

• Aledo - Possibly moving up to 6A Division I
• Brock - Possibly moving up to 4A Division II
• DeSoto - Possibly moving down to 5A Division I
• Fulshear - Possibly moving up to 6A Division II
• Granger - Possibly moving up to 2A Division I
• Gunter - Possibly moving up to 3A Division I
• Alvin Iowa Colony - Possibly moving up to 5A Division II
• Lake Belton - Possibly moving up to 6A Division II
• Liberty Hill - Possibly moving up to 5A Division I 
• Lindale - Possibly moving up to 5A Division II 
• New Home - Possibly moving up to 2A Division II
• Sherman - Possibly moving up to 6A Division II

Until there is a 7a (or a third 6A division) the cut offs will continue to go up.   

[AledoAlumni]

Interesting that the distinction was made for 6A D1 and D2. Since they are not pre-divided its more of a guessing game.

Not mentioned but I think could move up/down in 2024:

Mount Belvieu Barbers Hill(up)

Beaumont West Brook(down)

Beaumont United(down)

Cedar Hill(down)

[PrairieMan]

I think Splendora is a definite move up to 5A

Also Tarkington and Shepherd will be on the bubble depending on how far the line moves

If DeSoto AND Cedar Hill drops it's really going to get interesting in the region especially with Lancaster right next door. I hear Longview might toe the 6A line. Will also have to see if the UIL keeps Lufkin north or shift them south in 5A D1.

Tarkington on the bubble. Shepherd is moving up. Incoming 9th grade for Shepherd is massive.

Never gets any easier moving classes. Always run into another strong program. Thats why I think TX football is so elite, quality programs at all sizes.

5AD1 would be easier than 6A for both of those schools.

Hopefully they don't go into a district where they don't belong again... (Carthage lol)

They are likely to struggle in any configuration of 4AD2 districts.

I think the enrollment caps would have to increase significantly to have Desoto and Cedar Hill drop. Cedar Hill was at 2,635 in '22 and 2,634 in '20. I'm assuming it's their TEA number but Desoto was at 2,734 in '21. The enrollments for those SW Dallas County schools is relatively stagnant when compared to some of the other metro area schools.

Lancaster is the "country" part of Dallas County kind of like Crosby is to Harris County. They have room to grow and with them already sitting at 2,185 last snapshot I think they'll actually be moving to 6A next realignment. They picked up 84 kids from '20 snapshot to '22, if they're still growing at that rate they could be up over 2,260 in October.

I was told open enrollment was stopping at CH and DeSoto, any truth to that?

Nah.  I know of 7 transfers and the Junior class had over 600 in the spring.  we'll be fine

[scoopno1]

What is the situation with Lumberton? 
I like them right where they are but is there any chance the might move up?

It will be close. A few of the more knowledgeable with historical growth percentage and Current numbers said no they should stay.
