Districts and Areas

Each school falls into one of two classifications, according to the average enrollment of students in grades 1 through 8: "AA" schools have an average grade level enrollment of 24 students or more; "A" schools have an average enrollment of 23 or fewer students. Homeschools can choose to compete with "AA" or "A" schools.  An enrollment in grades 1-8 of 184 or fewer would classify a school as "A."  A campus enrollment of 185 or more would classify a school as "AA."

A PSIA District consists of a maximum of sEVEN schools (or the equivalent thereof), plus any homeschools or individuals who wish to participate.  In areas of the state where fewer private schools exist, five or six schools may constitute a district. It is important for each school to select the district in which their group wishes to compete upon registration into the PSIA, and it is important to note that enrollment in the district of a school's choice is on a first-enrollment-received basis, so it is not guaranteed that a school will be enrolled in the same district as the school was enrolled for the previous school year.  The PSIA Executive Director assigns schools to Districts according to geographic location and "AA/A" classification, if a district number is not placed on the Membership/Participation Form.

One-Act Play Areas are determined by first registrants' selection alone, with no "AA" or "A" classifications.
