Up until the end of the 2016 school year, there were only four class rankings, ranging from Class A to Class AAAA. At the beginning of the PIAA 2016-17 school year, however, the PIAA added two additional class rankings, making six total. The rankings range from Class A (1A) to Class AAAAAA (6A). As of the beginning of the 2022-23 school year, the PIAA will have 95 A or (1A) class, 94 AA or (2A) class, 88 AAA or (3A) class, 92 AAAA or (4A) class, 98 AAAAA or (5A) class and 88 AAAAAA or (6A) class ranked schools competing throughout the football season.
