The Impact of School Uniforms on Student Academic Achievement and Behavior.

Abstract

Advocates for the implementation of uniforms in public schools believe that uniforms could be the answer in establishing a positive school climate. Arguments about whether or not school uniforms have an impact on improving the school environment, academic performance, and overall behavior have been going on for quite some time. However, with the increase of school violence, inappropriate behavior, and a decline in academic achievement advocates for school uniforms are hoping that uniforms in public schools may reduce these issues.
