I thought SCOTUS ruled on that a long time ago. Apparently, they haven't. OTOH, most of the states, territories and DC have provisions by which students may opt out

Tennessee
All public school students are required to learn the Pledge, and it shall be said in every classroom in which there is an American flag, at a time of the school board’s choosing. There is no requirement to have an American flag in every classroom. Where the Pledge is said, students, faculty and staff may choose not to join in. If a student makes this choice, he is either to stand or sit silently. Tenn. Code Ann. § 49-6-1001(c)(1) (2005).
