It's pretty much the norm. Even private schools have uniforms. My daughters elementary school had uniforms. Both of them wear uniforms in junior high, one in public the other in private. It's the norm.

Seems it depends on prefecture or region when looking at elementary schools. for example, I remember my cousins (aichi-ken) were wearing uniforms when they went to public elementary schools. And I think most of the junior/high schools require uniforms.
