I would wager that’s very few schools, because most schools in the US alone are underfunded. Also likely depends what education level too, but I find the claim unlikely.

This is Chromebook's main market, so although I doubt it's "most", it's definitely more popular and useful than iMacs. So much so that there were rumours of Apppe doing a Chromebook-imitation cheap Macbook for that market because if they're not on ramping kids into their ecosystem, years down the line those grownups will have few reasons to try to enter it.

I grew up in the second most rural state and every middle schooler and high schooler had macbooks through https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maine_Learning_Technology_In...

I don’t know if my high school participated in the program, as we had Lenovo Thinkpads instead, which I installed linux on and was very easy to modify by replacing the ram and changing the CD drive to an SSD slot
