Is the Sailor Fuku still commonly worn by HS students in Japan

Good question ! It sure was popular when I was there in the early 70's.

 
It was everywhere at least until 2009, the last time I was in Japan. Some elementary schools were starting to let kids wear non-uniform clothes.
 
The top 100 Japanese high schools with the most popular uniforms.
As the girl student hopes for entrance to school at the school with the prettiest uniform, the school lays emphasis on the design of the uniform of the girl, too.
 
So is it still common in HS or not?
Check the video and judge for yourself. Here's some pseudocode for you to help.

Code:
function analyzeSailorUniformPercentage()
    totalImages = 100
    sailorStyleCount = 0

    for each image in imageSet
        if isSailorStyle(image)
            sailorStyleCount += 1
        end if
    end for

    percentage = (sailorStyleCount / totalImages) * 100
    return percentage
end function

function isSailorStyle(image)
    if hasCollar(image) and hasNeckerchief(image) and hasPleatedSkirt(image)
        return true
    else
        return false
    end if
end function

That is true - most elementary schools don't have a uniform. GenkaiPower - I was out in Tokyo yesterday and there were sailor uniforms in abundance!
 
How was the ranking determined?
It seems to be a count result of the word of mouth information of the site called "the high school information of all".
This site gets the information of the high school of the all over Japan.
I understand the ratio of students who go on to college of deviation value and the university becoming the indication of the examination.
 
really heard it was rare
According to the research by a major uniform manufacturer TOMBOW in 2019, 9.8 percent of female high school students wore sailor suits.


I don't think nearly 10 percent is rare.
