Collins-Maxwell School District Shifts to 4-Day Week
Update: 2025-12-07
Description
In central Iowa, the Collins-Maxwell Community School District is shifting to a four-day school week, aiming to attract teachers and reduce student absences. The districts middle and high schools have started closing on Mondays, with longer days on the remaining four days. While some neighboring schools reported improved attendance and fewer discipline problems, education researchers caution that the promised benefits may not consistently appear in the data. Despite concerns about potential harm to academic performance, the four-day school week is gaining popularity, with over two thousand one hundred schools in twenty-six states now using this schedule.
