Students in general cannot leave campus during the day and depending where they live are or aren't allowed to ride a bicycle to school. There are no school buses. The students are responsible for keeping the school clean, there are no janitors. Many if not most of the students participate in after-school sports or activities, so it isn't uncommon for many students to be at school until 6:00 at night or later.
That's how the schools in my area were. There was only one girl with hair that stood out... and she was half Japanese. It looked dirtier than dirty blond.

My school let us go off campus as long as we were back for class, but another school 10 minutes away was totally opposite. The kids there were kept in school and could not leave the classroom until dismissed.
