What is the purpose of year-round schools?

0

There can be multiple purposes for implementing a year-round school calendar. The two most often cited are: o To increase the retention of knowledge and skills from one school year to the next, thereby reducing review time at the start of the school year. There are studies which show a slight increase in student achievement (including retention of knowledge) in year-round schools. It is important to note that there are many studies which show no difference in achievement between traditional and year-round students. o To increase the capacity of a school facility. Using a multi-track year-round calendar can increase the number of students which can use a facility by 20-33%.
