In 2014, 19% of schools in America claimed that they require students to wear uniforms to school, and this movement is progressively spreading throughout the entire country. Higher poverty schools are beginning to enforce uniforms a little quicker than lower poverty schools, but eventually, all schools will realize the success and improvements that uniforms create (Davis,
