I have do admit I don't have much experience with Hadamitzky dictionaries besides looking up kanji info in an older one a while a go. But I have to say, if it's jukugo you're interested in, get this one instead, it's hands down the best kanji dic/jukugo list I have ever used. I'd go so far to say, I have never seen such a well made dictionary in any language. Thanks Jack Halpern!

I found this some time ago and it looked like a great idea so I bought it (or actually, I bought this one, not really sure what's different). I haven't actually looked closer at it since I bought it though, so I can't say how good it actually is.
It has short Japanese stories with the Japanese text on the left and English translation on the right, with vocabulary at the bottom. I'm not sure the content is as simple as you want though, it seems like there's only furigana for harder words, but they seem to have translation and reading at the bottom for all words.
Also, I don't think they have translation for the same word more than once - so if a word appears with translation on the first page, there won't be a translation for the word if it appears on later pages (though you still have the full English translation that includes the word).
The amazon link for the red book lets you look at the first few pages so you can see what it looks like.
The Routledge Course in Japanese Translation is quite good (and pretty cheap on Kindle).
Translating Japanese Texts is also supposed to be very good, but my copy hasn't arrived yet so I can't vouch for it firsthand!
I wonder if you can separate the two. Seifuku might have become a symbol because of the activities of the girls wearing them (in and outside of school).
Japanese Schoolgirl Confidential by Brian Ashcraft might be a good resource for that. It's completely in English.
