I've done work in some high schools. The ones with money do desktop virtualization on the backend and terminals in each class. Makes it much easier to recover from both software and hardware shenanigans. Costs more up front, far far less over the long haul.

Others just buy basic Dell/HP low end desktops and rely on their support and the school's PC support to keep them running. Need to have a imaging infrastructure in place and some techs to keep things running relativley smooth.

How mobile are you looking though? I honestly couldn't imagine trusting a mass of students with mobile laptops and/or netbooks. And I've worked with some upper class public schools. In the end it depends on the money you have and the current infrastructure in place.
