More Schools Adopt Year-Round Schedules

Year-round or modified schedules are a growing trend in Hawaii's public schools. A total of 105 out of 252 schools will vary from the official school calendar next year, up from 72 schools in the year just completed, and 45 the year before.

Statewide, 75,469 students will attend public schools with year-round or modified calendars. That's 40.3% of the state's projected enrollment of 187,378. Last year there were 51,000, and 27,000 the year before.

More than half of the public school students on Oahu are year-rounders. An estimated 66,951 students -- or 52.8% of Oahu's total -- will exchange a shortened summer break for more frequent breaks throughout the year (year-round schools have the same 184 instructional days as regular schools). In all, 90 of the 105 non-traditional calendar schools and 88.7% of the affected students are on Oahu.

By district, totals on Oahu are: Central -- 31 of 41 schools, 78.4% of all students; Leeward -- 23 of 40 schools, 55.3% of students; Honolulu -- 24 of 55 schools, 37.3% of students, Windward -- 12 of 31 schools, 30.3% of students. Neighbor Island totals are: Kauai (for the first time this year) -- 4 of 15 schools, 32.1% of students; Maui -- 8 of 30 schools,18.0% of students; and Hawaii -- 3 of 40 schools, 4.0% of students.

Statewide by grade level, nearly half of all students in grades K-6 (47.7%), more than one third of all students in grades 7-8 (36.2%) and more than one-fourth of all students in grades 9-12 (27.3%) will be in schools with year-round or modified calendars.

Mililani Middle School, the state's only multi-track year-round school, started the 1999-2000 school year on June 16. Among the single-track year-round and modified calendar schools, a few will open as early as July 22 or 23, another 34 will be back to the books the week of July 26, and 59 will resume the first week of August.

Students at the 147 public schools on the official school calendar will return to classes on August 23.
