Because the media isn't exactly a mirror, I want to ask the Americans here if it really that uncommon to have a school uniform?

I live in Australia and even when I was in high school - or secondary college - I didn't know of any schools that didn't have one.

My general sense is that nearly all public schools (that is, publicly funded, tuition-free, open to all students) will have no dress code, while some private schools (that is, fee-charging, not run by the government) have uniforms, some have dress codes, and some don't have a dress code.

Since the majority of students are educated in public schools, not having a dress code is more or less the norm.

Most public schools that I've heard of where I live (Texas) have some sort of dress code. My ISD was especially strict about it and we had something called "standardized dress" which weren't exactly uniforms but they pretty much were. We had to wear polo shirts (didn't matter what color) and slacks that were either navy, khaki, or black and a belt. They were also pretty strict on hair color and hair style. Several nearby ISDs have also been adopting a standardized dress code recently

I think it's fairly common to have a dress code restricting clothes with offensive/suggestive/drug-or-gang-related imagery. And when I was in school, it was NO SAGGING PANTS. Not so trendy these days, thank goodness.

Best friend's private school went from a dress code like da above me (solids only, polos that had to be tucked in at all times, no skirts above the knee) to a uniform in the time that she was there. Which also consisted of polos (now in white/grey/navy only unless you somehow had a shirt from a club) and long ugly skirts (in only khaki or navy). So it was the land of boring clothes. The school has more options now, but not while she was there!

Most private schools have them, but there's very few public schools that do. More people go to public schools since they don't have a tuition fee, btw.
