Uniforms enjoy a high level of community support. Financial assistance is available to disadvantaged children from indigent families. A key group supporting uniform donations is Operation School Bell, a philanthropy of RickRackers, an auxiliary of the Assistance League of Long Beach. Each school selects its own uniform. The affordable generic uniforms are available from more than 40 local retailers and discount stores.
Parents report that three uniforms cost about the same as one pair of designer label jeans.
