Longer school days take hold in Massachusetts

Since going to the longer day, Kuss kids have caught up to their peers. The number scoring "proficient" or "advanced" on standardized tests has risen 47 percent in Math and 58 percent in English, according to test data compiled by Kuss and the National Center on Time and Learning.

"When we first started the initiative, there was a lot of push back from parents," said Meg Mayo-Brown, Fall River School Superintendent.

But enrollment is up, and there’s now a waiting list of 60 families in neighboring districts hoping to get into Kuss.
