This is a sentence I'm struggling to fully understand:

> 高校生に **も** なった少女たちに揃い制服を着せ、ボタンをきちんととめている **か** 、指定通りのネクタイを締めている **か**
> 、いちいち干渉し、その上でさらに靴からマフラーからヘアアクセサリーにいたるまで、細かく取決めや 禁止事項を設けることへの、疑問がないと言えば嘘になる

I think it's about things high school students have to do as regulation, and
it's saying that would be a lie to say there were no issue about what
regulations permit or ban; but I'm not sure about the meaning of `も` in
`にもなった`, and of `か` in `ボタンをきちんととめているか、指定通りのネクタイを締めているか` (something like `とか`,
meaning "or/something like", maybe?).

What's the meaning of か and も in this sentence?
In this context, も emphasizes the meaning of the sentence. As seen in
definition 1 in this
[dictionary](https://kotobank.jp/word/%E3%81%AB%E3%82%82-592921), に and も can
work together to put stress on the word 高校生.

Let's see the slight difference between に and にも using your example.

  * 「高校生 **に** なった少女たちに揃い制服を着せ...」 tells us just the fact that the school (or somebody) makes their female students wear a uniform.
  * 「高校生 **にも** なった少女たちに揃い制服を着せ...」 means that even the high school girls have to wear a uniform. Sometimes, the sentence implicitly includes the writer's opinion such as "high school girls are matured enough, but they have to wear a uniform (like children)."

In this context, か expresses doubt rather than "or/something like", and it can
be replaced by [かどうか](https://j-nihongo.com/kadouka/).

「ボタンをきちんととめている **か** 、指定通りのネクタイを締めている **か** 、いちいち干渉し」means that people
interfere with how the girls wear their uniform, for example, **whether** they
properly button up their shirt, or **whether** they tie an approved tie.
