So who won?
In a joyous moment, the judge declared that the Arnold family won the case and that the school district was wrong in its actions. The high school offered to take DeAndre back and let him graduate at his original school as he should have priorly. But it was too late to go back and the offer was rejected.
The family had found justice, even if it was late they still had their voices heard in the end and the mistreatment and unfairness towards them were dealt with and recognized finally. DeAndre was able to return to normal life within the town and the circus over his hair length was finally put to rest.
