The Idaho High School Activities Association (IHSAA) oversees high school athletics and activities in the state of Idaho. Idaho high schools are classified in five categories, based on enrollment, for league competition and state playoffs and championships. Schools primarily compete within their own classification for regular season play, but are allowed to play other schools one classification above or below them in most sports.[1]

Classification

IHSAA classifications are based on four-year enrollments (grades 9–12).[2]
The classifications for the state's 157 high schools for 2016-18 are:[3]
