School Uniforms

LAUSD recognizes that student dress and hair support students’ right to free expression within guidelines of appropriateness for learning environments. All students shall show proper attention to personal safety and suitability of clothing for school activities. Ranchito’s dress code policy was adopted by the Local School Leadership Council (LSLC) on May 23, 2025  to promote  school safety, improve discipline, enhance the learning environment, and create a sense of belonging.

• No crop tops or spaghetti straps. Jeans with excessive rips or holes above the knee are not allowed.
