How many classes do high school students in New York City take?

I was considering teaching for New York Public Schools and looking at the bell schedules, I notice that they have 10 class periods a day. I am from Memphis and we traditionally took six classes a day for 55 minutes. Does 10 classes a day seem extreme. Maybe that is why the school system in New York has such a low graduation rate.
