CDA Athletic Department Index

Multi-sport performance, consistency, state appearances, championship output, boys/girls program balance, and postseason breadth.
Status:Source identified. Future outputs stay labeled until source coverage and QA support validation.
What it measures
Multi-sport performance, consistency, state appearances, championship output, boys/girls program balance, and postseason breadth.
Why it matters: Which athletic departments show the strongest total program depth?
What it does not measure: It does not treat one elite team as proof of full department strength.
Example use case: A department with several sports reaching late postseason rounds can rate strongly even without one dominant flagship team.
Limitations
Input availability varies by public/private status, district disclosure, sport, season, and source quality.
