Probably 95% of schools don't allow phones at school, period. Typically, the rule is, if the teachers see it, it goes to the principal. (From my lovely wife, 15 years as an elementary teacher). That being said, some may allow them in lockers, and turned off.
With kids, I tend to take the "all my friends have them" is sometimes equal to "but 3 or 5 of my 20 friends have them."
