Cumberland County schools that require them include Cliffdale Elementary School, Elizabeth Cashwell Elementary, Montclair Elementary, W.T. Brown Elementary, Westarea Elementary and William H. Owen Elementary. Middle schools requiring uniforms include Anne Chesnutt, Lewis Chapel, Reid Ross Classical, Seventy-First Classical, South View and Westover. High schools with uniforms include A.B. Wilkins, Massey Hill Classical, Ramsey Street and Reid Ross Classical. Howard Learning Academy also requires uniforms. Rosalind Arango says her daughter, Adrian, has not been required to wear a uniform for the past four years. She looks forward to the new school year because Adrian will be going to a school that requires them. "I love uniforms. My daughter did private school with stricter uniforms for a private school in pre-K and kindergarten. en we switched her to a public school that had more relaxed uniforms. en aer COVID, they stopped requiring them. But she starts a new middle school, and I'm excited to have them again," Arango says. Adrian will start sixth grade at the year- round Anne Chesnutt Middle School, where uniforms include khaki and black bottoms and polos and oxford shirts in white, burgundy, black or gold. "We have fun ways to make them a little different without pushing the limits. And it's easy to find them on Amazon, at the outlet mall north of Raleigh, Lands End, Wal-Mart and Target," Arango says. Some schools require Tommy Hilfiger, Flynn O'hara and other name-brand uniform suppliers, which can add cost and the possibility that the uniforms might not fit well, especially for tall or plus-size children. Most schools in the area allow flexibility as long as the outfits are similar in color, fabric and design. Riddle says when she and her daughter are looking to add a little extra to her daughter's uniforms, they have a range of options. "I love earrings and shoes," Riddle says. "I tell people because those two things always fit, no matter what." e fun, of course, is always in the details. When it rains, When it rains, IT DRAINS! IT DRAINS!
