''We shouldn't institute year-round school in grades 9-12. Just look at what a disaster it's been for the elementary school. Students hated it!''

Answer:

The assumption being made in this argument is that the students hated it.

Step-by-step explanation:

Although it is very likely that students hated the year-round schooling, there is no proof in the argument that the students disliked it. Therefore, the statement "Students hated it!" is an assumption.

Definition of assumption = a thing that is accepted as true or as certain to happen, without proof.
