Just a thought

Think maybe that the reason for "Measurement day" is to aggregate all the numbers so that the stores can stock the proper amounts of various sizes of school uniforms?

2 Yes, they measure the boys as well; it just shows up less in the sort of anime we watch. Search for å­¦æ ¡ä¿å¥çµ±è¨ˆèª¿æŸ» (School Health Examination Survey), and you can find some of the data, such as this spreadsheet breaking down height and weight by grade over 1995-2010.
