Stereotypically? Yes. Reality? No, we got pretty paranoid about weapons and objects that can be used as weapons on school campuses. It was even joked about in King of the Hill back in the 90's, way before we got to the point of having AI powered metal detectors at schools misidentifying bags of chips for a gun. Additionally, school lockers have been phased out in many schools apparently so the old image of US high schools with their lockers may well be a thing of the past.
