Do they let second graders walk over a mile alone to and from school nowadays?

I just Googled my walk to school in first and second grade. 1.1 miles through suburban subdivisions. (I don't remember walking to or from kindergarten.)

As I recall, my school had a rule in elementary years that below a certain year (3rd grade? 5th grade?), you had to be dropped off and picked up by an adult. Above that age but before junior high, you could bring in a permission slip to be allowed to walk to and from school unaccompanied. Junior high and up, anything went.
