OCC Realignment Question

  • RedRaider2009
    I have always been under the assumption that the OCC is structured based on school size. That is why there is realignment every two years. I was reading a dispatch article about football adding a division and there was a break down of central Ohio schools and male enrollment. The numbers do not match the occ realignment for next year. Is location part of the consideration for realignment?

    Ohio
    Gahanna 880
    Grove City 763
    Groveport 697
    Lancaster 651
    Newark 586
    Pickerington Central 653
    Pickerington North 720
    Reynoldsburg 712

    Central
    Central Crossing 636
    Dublin Coffman 735
    Hilliard Davidson 708
    Marysville 620
    Olentangy Liberty 580
    Thomas Worthington 587
    Upper Arlington 685
    Westland 620

    Cardinal
    Dublin Jerome 495
    Dublin Scioto 498
    Hilliard Bradley 570
    Hilliard Darby 581
    Westerville Central 590
    Westerville North 581
    Westerville South 549
    Worthington Kilbourne 489

    Capital
    Big Walnut 365
    Delaware Hayes 550
    Franklin Heights 423
    Mount Vernon 490
    New Albany 457
    Olentangy 495
    Olentangy Orange 499
    Watkins Memorial 483

    If divisions were based solely on enrollment the OCC would look like the following:

    Ohio
    Gahanna 880
    Grove City 763
    Dublin Coffman 735
    Hilliard Davidson 708
    Groveport 697
    Pickerington North 720
    Reynoldsburg 712
    Upper Arlington 685

    Central
    Pickerington Central 653
    Lancaster 651
    Newark586
    Central Crossing 636
    Marysville 620
    Westerville Central 590
    Thomas Worthington 587
    Westland 620

    Cardinal
    Olentangy Liberty 580
    Dublin Jerome 495
    Dublin Scioto 498
    Hilliard Bradley 570
    Hilliard Darby 581
    Westerville North 581
    Westerville South 549

    I thought the last time the re-alligned that they were trying to do more geographically in terms of not as much travel involved. I could be completely off base on that, but I thought that's why the three school suburbs were lumped together like all three Westervilles, two of the Olentangys, etc.
