What Is the Advantage of 
Having School Start 
Early?
Introduction 
School days beginning after 8 a.m. have 
many benefits for students, especially 
those in middle and high school, 
according to Psychology Today. These 
benefits include better academic 
performance, fewer absences and even 
improved health.
However, early start times do have some 
advantages that may be worth 
considering. Students who begin earlier 
have more time for after-school jobs and 
activities; schools may benefit by saving 
some money; and parents might find that 
an early start works better with their 
schedules.
Studies show there are academic 
advantages to later start times for 
adolescents, schools that begin early in 
the day still can excel academically. 
Starting the day early also means more 
time for after-school tutoring and that 
student-athletes miss fewer classes to 
travel to after-school competitions. 
Academics
school administrators cited extracurricular 
activities as a major reason why high school 
campuses would rather start earlier in the day. 
Sports needing to practice outdoors have more 
daylight, and students walking home from these 
activities can take advantage of the extra 
daylight for their safety. 
In some cases, students may need to travel, and 
an early start and release may mean more time 
in the evening for homework and family. High 
school students also have more time for after-school 
jobs 
More Time for Activities
Schools may also be able to save up to 30 
percent on transportation costs by 
starting some campuses early and 
staggering start times within the district. 
This method saves money by allowing 
drivers to run more than one route at a 
time, so fewer buses and drivers are 
needed 
Transportation Costs
There are specific advantages for parents if 
younger grades have early start times. Starting 
school early may eliminate the need for morning 
childcare if parents are able to drop off their kids 
before work. They may drop them off at a center 
that buses them to their campus later in the 
morning. 
After school, the daycare picks up the students 
and parents retrieve their children in the evening 
from the center. This is necessary for some 
parents to have time to travel to work, especially 
if they have a longer commute. 
Better for Parent Schedules
