The Long Beach, California Uniform Program

Out of 70,000 students in the district, K- 8th grades have 98% compliance rate

The results in the first year alone were astonishing:

• 43% reduction in suspensions
  
  
• 54% fewer fights
  
  
• 70% reduction in substance abuse
  
  
• 20% fewer cases of weapons possession and robbery
  
  
• 50% reduction in reports of battery against employees

Of course uniforms are not the only reason for such great improvements, but they certainly made a big contribution.
