The Apple II was very dominant in education, but Apple never managed to retain that dominance through the migration to the Mac. Schools started moving to Wintel boxes in the mid-90s as the Apple II was becoming obsolete -- Macs were present in schools, but had stiff competition by that point.
I recall my elementary school (1985-1991) exclusively having Apple IIs, my middle school (1991-1994) having a mix of Mac LCs and IBM PS/2s (along with lingering Apple IIs), and my high school (1994-1998) having all of the computer labs stocked entirely with Tandy 486es, with a handful of Macs in specific classrooms for particular use cases.
