Most of Western Massachusetts schools will open before Labor Day this year since the holiday that signals the unofficial end of summer falls so late in the month. The earliest date for the start of school is Aug. 31, the Monday before Labor Day. Fluctuations in the start day are affected by how many snow days local districts add to the 180-day public school calendar. Below are some starting dates for school districts and some private schools in Western Massachusetts: Springfield Public Schools: Monday, Aug. 31, Grades 1-12; Tuesday, Sept. 8, kindergarten and pre-kindergarten.
Enrollment. In fall 2017, about 50.7 million students will attend public elementary and secondary schools. Of these, 35.6 million will be in prekindergarten through grade 8 and 15.1 million will be in grades 9 through 12. An additional 5.2 million students are expected to attend private elementary and secondary schools. The fall 2017 public school enrollment is expected to be slightly higher than the 50.6 million enrolled in fall 2016 (source). Of the projected 50.7 million public school students entering prekindergarten through grade 12 in fall 2017, White students will account for some 24.4 million.
