Interesting study, but there are some potential issues.
One is that it is small, about 100 students.
The other is that the demographics of the students at the second school shift between the 2 years. This may confound the study due to cultural differences. For example, in my limited experience, it seems that white parents are more strict about bedtime than Asian parents, and if that is the case, more sleep may simply be a result that the second group had parents who pushed stricter bedtimes.

I would take these results with a grain of salt.
