Certain high schools are threatening to suspend students for walking out protests against gun violence. One in Texas, another in Wisconsin have made some explicit statements. It goes without saying that most high schools are going to follow the same kind of procedure... If the movement is extremely large some pressure may be exerted against the schools...not sure.
In the meantime, some colleges have come out saying that any disciplinary action for peacefully protesting will not affect the college admissions: MIT, Smith, WPI, UMass @ Amherst to name some schools:

WPI said:I can’t believe I even have to clarify this: students applying to WPI will not be penalized for exercising their 1st Amendment rights to speak out against gun violence.
