Wasty: I think it's kinda dependent on just where you are in Zoot, as much like in our real world, summer vacation is sort of dependent on climate. Back when I went to school, we went from September to June, and I had relatives in the south who went from May to late August because it was hotter there generally...even if it didn't feel it compared to where I was. Generally, Zootopian schooling has less days and hours across the board, but the way they'd be distributed would more than likely differ down to the district since almost all of them have dramatically different climates.
In the North and South Meadowlands, as well as Alpine Glade, I could see school pulling a start in October, and ending in June, which would be the template for the cooler climates.
This would largely be matched in Savannah Square and its downtown area. Where we start to depart from the average would be places like Savannah Central and the Rainforest district. Because these places are hotter than average, they would probably see a start about a month sooner in September, whereas they would end closer to mid-May to get ahead of the brunt of the worst of the season's heat. Tundra Town would more than likely would adopt a similar scheme, but instead of try to get ahead of the warmer season, they would be trying to make the most out of it as possible before returning to those rapidly cooling months after September.
The only District that's up in the air is the Nocturnal District, which cavern climate sets in a somewhat different situation than all the others. I feel like what they'd probably have to worry about the most is a rainy season, or heavy melt season, depending on what other district is feeding into the caves the most. I'm going to go with 'melt runoff' being the primary concern, as the Noceternal District is positioned mostly under snowcapped mountains. This would probably put them starting school somewhere around August, and being let out in April to keep travel minimized during 'flooding season.'
