The Relationship between Grade Six Test Scores and the Length of the School Day.

Wheeler, Patricia

Educational Research Quarterly, v11 n3 p10-17 1986-87

The connection between length of school day and time allocated to 10 school subjects and scores for grade 6 in reading, writing, and mathematics was studied for 1,030 schools in the 1982 California Assessment Program. More time for science and mathematics and a longer school day correlated with higher test scores in all subjects. (SLD)
