Abstract

The purpose of this study was to record and analyze the effects of a year-round school plan, namely Concept Six, during its first year of operation, on a small comprehensive high school. Three components critical to the success of the project were isolated for in-depth study: support services, quarter courses, and extracurricular activities. The study also included the historical background of year--round schools and the current status of year-round education at the secondary level. Recommendations for further study include the following items: availability and quality of curriculum; participation in extra-curricular activities, effects of early graduation on students and high school programs: community acceptance of year-round school; effects of geographic tracking on socialization cf students; academic performance; scheduling processes; discipline and attendance.
