My old highschool is only 5 years old and DEFINATELY has skirt/shorts length rules as well as rules about shirts (including no strapless tops). It is very strictly enforced and you are made to wear a long white lab coat or leave school if you can't change. I got in trouble one time for shorts my sophmore year and never wore any shorts again after that!
As for current colleges that I find waaaay to strict, check out Bob Jones University in South Carolina. I think that college students need to learn how to be on their own and this is certainly not the way to do it!

Here are some excerpts:
Quote:
A student must live in one of the University residence halls unless he is living with parents or other close relatives (approved by the Dean of Men's or Dean of Women's office), is 23 years old or older, is married and over the age of 20, or is a graduate student.
For the sake of accountability, students must "check out" when they leave the campus.
Students are required to be in their own rooms and quiet at 11 pm. All lights must be out by midnight.
Music must be compatible with the University's music standards:
New Age, jazz, rock, and country music is not permitted.
Contemporary Christian music is not permitted.
Residence hall students may not watch videos above a G rating when visiting homes in town and may not attend movie theaters.
Classroom/general dress consists of a dress or top and skirt; however, pants may be worn for some recreational activities.
Hose must be worn for all professional-type activities including class, church, and recitals.
...with this in mind that we chaperon campus activities where men and women students are present and require a chaperon when students date or interact in a mixed group off campus.
Students may work in town until 10:25 pm on weekdays and midnight on weekends. Freshmen must have a prayer captain, assistant prayer captain, or upperclassman with them.
