In my school district, classes ran from the Wed. after Labor Day through the 3rd week in June or so. We had a week off in February, and a week off in April. April vacation coincided with Passover as the district is 90% Jewish. (The Catholic school took their April vacation during Easter week instead. In most years this isn't an important distinction, but every few years Passover and Easter are one month apart.)

New York State also requires students to take a number of Regents exams over the course of their high school years. On the days of Regents exams, there are no classes, as no one is allowed to be in the school building except students taking exams and the teachers who are proctoring them. So classes wrap up in the middle of the 2nd week of June, allowing a week and a half or so for exams.
