What percent of schools in the US have dress codes?

Answer 1

It is difficult to answer this question, because the numbers are constantly changing. Uniforms used to be expected only in parochial schools, but today, even some public schools are experimenting with uniforms, since there is a belief that wearing school uniforms creates a sense of school spirit, inspires self-discipline, and fosters positive behavior. This is debatable, since some studies show it has a positive effect, while others show it has little if any effect.

That said, there are more than 7,000 Catholic parochial schools in the United States, all of which expect their students to wear uniforms. And a number of private schools expect a student to wear a uniform as well, especially some of the older private schools, for which wearing a uniform is a long-held tradition. One survey from 2008 estimated about 18-20% of American students attend a school where they have to wear a uniform. But other surveys have offered figures as high as 25%.
