The start date of the 2024-2025 school year in the United States varies depending on the state, district, and individual school. However, most schools typically begin their academic year in late August or early September. Some schools may start as early as mid-August, while others may not start until after Labor Day, which is the first Monday in September.
The start date of the school year is determined by a number of factors, including the local climate, the length of the school year, and the availability of teachers and staff. In general, schools in warmer climates tend to start earlier than schools in colder climates. Schools with longer academic years also tend to start earlier than schools with shorter academic years. And schools that have difficulty recruiting and retaining teachers may start later in the year to give themselves more time to find qualified candidates.
