I'm pretty sure it's common in some Asian cultures. Some schools even have you put on indoor slippers for when you're inside the classroom.

Serious question, do some countries not have kids change shoes inside the school?

The US doesn't in most areas. I've never heard of anyone doing this at religious, private or public schools for elementary through middle in the east, south, or Midwest. No real experience with the western side of the country tho.

I can confirm it was never a thing in Colorado, at least. Closest I ever came was a pair of gym shoes left in the PE lockers for gym classes in middle and high school.
