The high schools and elemetary schools where I grew up did that. It meant that when I was in high school we went in super early but we're done school at 2:26, which was awesome. It made better use of the hardware available, I think. You can half as many busses that way, just run them more. Free for the parents too, which I'm sure they will appreciate.

Unfortunately, it's terrible for the students to start super early, in terms of doing well at school:

There is a movement to get schools to start later.

Starting school at 7 AM or earlier is pretty crazy.  8 AM is not so unreasonable, though, I think.

That web site makes a huge number of claims about how evil early school days are, but it has precious little evidence to back up those claims.
