California later school start improves outcomes
A study indicates that California’s law mandating later start times for middle and high schools has led to increased sleep, improved mental health, and higher academic scores among students. Implemented in 2022, the law requires middle schools to start no earlier than 8 a.m. and high schools no earlier than 8:30 a.m., resulting in a 13% rise in students getting at least eight hours of sleep. The research shows these changes have positively affected student well-being, especially among boys and Latino students, and contributed to academic gains in math and English.
