Year-Round School

Year-round school improves students' academic achievement. 

I might have forgotten something during the summer because I usually don't study during the summer vacation. 

Because students get breaks throughout the school year, they have opportunities to restart their learning.

The most popular form of year-round education is the 45-15 plan, where students attend school for 45 days and then get three weeks (15 days) off. The usual holiday breaks are still built into this calendar. 

The percentage  increase in year-round school implementations from 1987 – 2003 is 544 %

The number of year-round schools in the U.S. is 3,181. Support for Year-Round Schools is 49.7 %

The beginning of a three-month break from school seems to be as much a harbinger of summer as barbecues and beach vacations. But, according to the National Association for Year-Round Education, more than 2.3 million U.S. public school students attended year-round schools in the 2002-03 school year. The number has steadily grown since the 1986-87 school year, when only about 360,000 students were enrolled in year-round schools. NAYRE also reports that 3,181 public schools now function year round, compared with 408 schools in 1986-87.
