The start date of the school year in the United States varies from state to state and district to district, but most schools start in late August or early September. In 2024, the first day of school will be on August 26th for many districts, and in 2025, it will be on September 2nd. The school year typically ends in late May or early June.
There are a number of factors that contribute to the variation in start dates. Some states have laws that mandate a certain start date, while others give school districts the flexibility to set their own start dates. The weather is also a factor, as some states have earlier start dates to avoid the hot summer months. Additionally, some school districts have a year-round schedule, which means that students attend school for shorter periods of time throughout the year.
