A rudimentary search of APS' award winning website does not reveal the last day of school for seniors.
It is well in advance of the last day of school for everyone else.
A third of those seniors will not graduate this year, having been driven out, or having dropped out of public school education. A significant percentage of them lack the skills they will need to begin work or further their education or training.
For lack of real numbers to work with, let's say senior year ends 10 days early.
Overall, it represents 1/2 of 1 percent of the number of days they could be in school; a little over one percent of the number of days they could have been learning in a high school, and nearly 6 percent of the number of days they could have spent in school in their senior year. It is more than 11 percent of their last semester in school.
In whose interests, does a senior's education end so early?
