Southern Columbia from PA is ranked #1 in the country for Small Schools. Fort Hill is the only school from MD ranked at #12. Farrell Catholic PA is 3 hours away and ranked #14. There is a Small School top 25, medium school top 25 and a top 100 list

I saw that. Obviously any national poll you have to take with a grain of salt. But it is always nice to be recognized.

No, it will be Fort Hill isn't that good, it's the fact that small school football across the country is down
It would be interesting to see some of the teams play each other. I wouldn’t say all small schools are down. They are just that small schools. I believe the #1 receiver in the country plays for the PA team.
They look like they are between 400-500 students for the most part. Fort Hill may be the biggest school, def one of the biggest
Fort Hill is a good Maryland public school that punches above its weight. They probably aren't the 12th best small school in the country but should be in the back end of the Top 25, although they are by far the largest small school ranked here.Here's how CalPreps says they'd stack up against the rest of the Small Schools Top 25:

As you can also see, Fort Hill has 160 more students (using US News data across the board here) than any other school on this list and is one of only two schools with more than 600 students. They would be considered more of a medium sized school in most states.
Fort Hill would be a 4A school in both Texas and Florida (and PA too I'm pretty sure). #3 Mart (TX) is pulling from an almost Hancock-sized student body. I posted this on the MoCo board but most small schools in Maryland are pretty big compared to the small schools in other states:
