Yeah...it seems the northeast is on a different schedule than a lot of the country. We always start the Wednesday after Labor Day, then we go until the second week of June, plus a week and a half of exams. If the trend continues for next year, classes will end on the 12th of June and exams will run June 15-24.

It kind of coincides better with the weather...May can be either really hot or pretty cold. By June it's always hot, and it usually stays that way through the first few weeks of September (although it doesn't seem that way this year).

Unfortunately it means one less month of school before AP's compared to everyone else in the country, so in some cases, that means more summer work. But the month after AP's is fun.
