5A — 1,315-2,274
4A — 545-1,314 
3A — 254-544
2A —105-253
1A — 104.9 students and below

According to numbers released by the UIL, Allen is the state's largest school with 6,947 students while Dell City is among the smallest with less than 20 students.

Among the biggest question marks in the process had been the status of two-time Class 6A Division 2 football champion DeSoto. The school's enrollment is reported as 2,127, which is below the threshold for 6A schools, but the Eagles will remain part of that classification in Region 2 District 11 along with Cedar Hill, Duncanville, Horn (Mesquite), Lancaster, Mesquite and Skyline (Dallas), Waxahachie.
