They coasted on the success of the Apple II for a long time. It's difficult to overstate how popular they were in American schools. For over a decade, "a computer" was an Apple II.
They didn't stop making the IIe until November 1993.
It was the BBC Micro of the USA.

For over a decade, "a computer" was an Apple II. The hype! I can feel it now, despite not ever having lived during that time. Damn, that gives a good tangible vibe of how strong that success was. Haha, thanks for the comment!
