Just a quick survery:

What model Apple II did your school have (if any)?

Well, I graduated in 1972. My high school had an IBM mini (?), and students learned how to program in Fortran using this cute little cards...

The school also used the machine for our report cards. Garbage in, garbage out, perhaps that's why I wasn't on the honor roll.

I did take a programming class at the local JuCo in 1982 (?) which used an Apple II Plus.

The elementary/junior high/high school I attended had a bunch of
unenhanced Apple //e computers, with 48K RAM each, no 80 column card, one
Disk ][ drive for each machine, and one Zenith amber monochrome monitor
for each machine. They also had a bunch of TRS-80 Model III machines.

This was throughout the 1980's. I think they purchased the Apple //e
computers as soon as they came out in 1983, which explains why they were
all unenhanced and with 48K RAM.

I don't recall the school having any ProDOS based disks. All I remember is
Apple DOS 3.3, Apple Presents Apple, and Oregon Trail. I do remember
learning how to program in AppleSoft BASIC which I found thrilling at the
time.  :)

I always did like the built in character generator font that the Apple //e
produced onscreen.
