Late October is bringing more than just a few surprises this Halloween season as multiple schools made big moves or dropped out of the High School on SI Top 25 Girls Volleyball National Rankings.

As California schools continued to knock each other off in their quest for stater and national glory, Alpharetta (Ga.) moved up three spots to No. 6 after advancing to the 2025 GHSA Volleyball Class AAAAAA State Championship final. The Raiders are seeking their third straight title.

A pair of Florida schools – No. 12 Calvary Christian (Clearwater) and No. 13 Winter Park – each jumped nine spots after advancing to state semifinals in their respective classifications. Harrisburg (S.D.) jumped four spots to No. 15 after recording six sweeps.

Three schools dropped out of the Top 25 – Marian High (Bloomfield Hills, Mich.), Redondo Union (Redondo Beach, Calif.), and Mercy (Farmington Hills, Mich.) – paving the way for three new entrants.

Roncalli (Indianapolis, 30-5) climbed back into the Top 25 after winning the S28 Shelbyville championship and beating Cathedral to rank No. 20.

Unbeaten Seton High (Cincinnati, 25-0) and Lafayette (Wildwood, Mo., 37-1) make their debut at No. 22 and No. 24, respectively.

Byron Nelson (Trophy Club, Texas, 36-0) remained at No. 1 after winning its 72nd consecutive match dating to last season.

The rankings include teams affiliated with state high school athletic associations in the state they compete in or those allowed to play affiliate high schools in their home state and beyond.
