I had access to a lab of 512k/512kE/Plus Macs at the "gifted and talented" program in my public school district in Pennsylvania in 1985-199x, officially one day every 5-10 days, but ended up skipping regular classes, staying late, etc. with the cooperation of a couple of the teachers to use the lab more. HyperCard! Some "choose your own adventure" style game creation toolkit. Some early Mac games. Pascal. early SimCity. Some kind of dialup to somewhere (probably local BBSes? I think Fido mail too). The main schools at the time had c64, Commodore PET, and then in middle school, labs of Apple II with sometimes IIgs; much less worthwhile, and all in structured classes like "we will all learn to type". I mowed a lot of lawns, etc to save up for a Mac Classic 1/0 for $899 in 1990. (I had a "colecovision adam" before that, with the tape drive, printer, etc., which was essentially a word processor and games machine even when I got it; a c64 or apple II would have been a vastly better choice for a kid back then). I did Mac stuff with it for a few more years (very simple programming, hacking around with ResEdit, keeping up with the prepress going to digital transition, desktop publishing, etc.), but once I got VMS and UNIX accounts, and various dial-ups, and a modem, it turned into a glorified terminal. I eventually got a 486sx25 and then a P90 to replace it, running early 386BSD, BSD/OS, and Linux, but didn't get back into Macs until 2007 at a startup.
