I am haven't seen a US school. What about walking? I'm guessing most people use the school bus or get driven then?

  It varies greatly by area, but generally most too young to drive get bused or driven, and those old enough drive themselves.

  Across the US, only 70% of students live within 3 miles of their school, and only 20% of students are within 1 mile. Toss in weather, carrying supplies for after-school activities, tight schedules (e.g., going from some before-school activity to the actual school building), a general fear of kidnapping, a car-centric culture, and the fact that buses are cheap and school dropoff is often easy to squeeze into a parent's schedule, and you'll find that various forms of driving are extremely common.

  One suburban town near me forbids approach on foot or bike. I’ve heard of places where CPS was called about kids walking to school.

  It only works if you are lucky enough to live the side of the school with the pedestrian entrance. A colleague lived near the side with car entrance so walking their kids to school required walking the extra 1/2 mile around the grounds as they weren’t allowed int he car entrance.
