School dress codeMost schools in the United States do
not require uniform, instead off
enforcing a standardized dress code of
what types of clothing are appropriate
for students to wear to school.
Typically, students will wear collared,
buttoned shirts, with a tie for boys and
a tie for girls, worn with khaki trousers,
and a belt, depending on the age of the
school’s students.

School gradesThe American grading scale includes a full 5 points, which
are indicated by letters.
Excellent
Good
Satisfactory
Poor
Unsatisfactory
Additionally, "+" and "-" are used, but officially these marks are not taken into
account. In many states, the letter designation of an unsatisfactory grade is different:
instead of E, F (Fail, i.e. "complete failure") or grade U (from Unsatisfactory) is often
used. Students and their parents receive progress reports every six months.
