Write your argument paragraph in the space below. Use evidence from the chart you studied in your response.

Answer:

High schools should implement later start times to improve students' academic performance and overall well-being. According to the chart, students who start school at 8:30 a.m. or later show a significant increase in GPA and standardized test scores compared to those who start at 7:00 a.m. This evidence suggests that additional sleep allows for better cognitive function and concentration. Additionally, the chart indicates a decrease in student absences and tardiness in districts with later start times. By analyzing this data, it is clear that aligning school schedules with adolescent sleep patterns leads to more successful outcomes. Therefore, the information provided in the chart strongly supports the shift toward later school days.
