You work at will. If working for Acme Inc requires you to wear a suit, but you don't want to, then you have the option to leave.
Education is compulsory. The homeschooling option isn't one available to everyone, and it still has the issue of paying (in most locations) twice for education.
I'm not necessarily opposed to dress codes in schools. I'm not necessarily in favor of them, either. But end of the day, it's completely a governmental body (normally a school board) telling their population how they have to dress.
Absolutely, not wanting to comply with a dress code in a public school system doesn't offer the advantage of just quitting as other public or private organizations.
But the fact that a student just cant just up and leave is unrelated to the notion that a dress code is some sort of big government overreach. It is not.
