Case study of Long Beach, CA High School


One school with a uniform policy is Long Beach High School, who has seen improvements in their school after adopting uniforms in 1999.
The graph above represents the relationship between school uniforms and violent offenses at Long Beach High School. Dramatic changes were seen in the students' behavior once uniforms were put into action. Rates of vandalism decreased, which saved the school from spending thousands of dollars on repairing damaged property.
Also, since sex offenses and the overall crime rate dropped, the school became safer resulting in a better environment. With a better environment, student's behavior progressed which led to a decrease of school suspensions.
As indicated in this graph, it is clear that this high school has improved in many areas due to school uniforms.
