The First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution forbids mandatory prayers in public school (establishment of religion is prohibited). No one can stop anyone from praying, however.
Private schools do no have this restriction.

The Establishment Clause of the 1st Amendment of the U.S. Constitution prohibits school employees (teachers, administrators, etc.) from making students pray. However, nothing in the law prevents students from praying or engaging in religious study provided that it is done on their own free time (at lunch, etc.).

Prayer in schools is not illegal (in the United States, at least).
