2009 ADM Numbers
(updated November 10, 2009)



The ADM (average daily membership) is the total enrollment of a school during the first month of the academic year.  ADM data from the NC Department of Public Instruction is tweaked by the NCHSAA (making adjustments for off-site freshmen, school-within-a-school academy programs, etc.) before being released to the public, typically during the final week of the football regular season.  The ADM numbers are used to split the 64 qualifying schools in each classification into two sub-classes of 32 teams each, separating the larger schools from the smaller ones.

The following numbers were released on October 30, 2009, to be used for the 2009 NCHSAA playoffs.  The percentage chances for borderline teams to go big or small are based on projections going into the last regular-season week.
