I went to kindergarten in a church. The public school was having an addition put on, so the Board of Ed rented classrooms from a local church.
Grade 1 - 3, one elementary school.
Grade 4 - 6, the other elementary school across the street. This school had once been K - 9 and the only school in the town. Both my parents went K - 9 there.
Grade 7 - 12, the Jr. - Sr. High School
Funny, I went to Kindergarten in a church also. My public elementary school student population was growing quicker than they could add classroom trailers. Our elementary school was also two different schools but right next to each other (even shared the same playground). I also went to the same high school as my mother. Her 1958 class was the first to graduate from the newly built school.
K - 3 one elementary and 4-6 elementary was right next door.
5 schools
2 elementary
2 junior high (AKA middle) schools
1 high school
My elementary school burned down in 2nd grade and students were farmed out to local churches, so I had two grades in different church dungeon basements with water and smoke damaged books and makeshift desks and blackboards. We all hated it, but it has been only in my adult years that I finally appreciated how the teachers managed to hold it all together in the worst of circumstances. This was baby-boom classroom sizes.

7-9 one junior high
10-12 one high school.
I had the same first grade teacher as my mother. She was Miss W when my mother had her, but was married when I did. Somebody on our hometown website published a picture of that class from 1934. My mother is in the second row with a pout on her face.
Four. All but one have been torn down, or turned into condos. All were in walking distance to home.
Kindergarten, Lee St. School
1-6, Nelson Place School
7-9 Jr. High, Forest Grove
10-12 high school, North High
Funny. I was looking for my 5th and 6th grade elementaries on a trip a few years back. The 6th grade school was turned into a civic center. The 5th grade I couldn't find. Finally figured out it was a cornfield now.
All my other 6 are still around although a couple have been torn down with new buildings on the site.
One of each. My family didn't move around much. When we lived in other countries it was fairly short (several months at a time) and I was home schooled. Generally, I lived in the same house till I got married. Then I spent decades in other countries.
Now I live in my childhood house again
Just two schools unless summer schools are included then that would be four schools. I'm very fortunate for all the teachers at the schools. There were no bad experiences until college. During college years is when the phrase "those that can't do, teach" gave meaning. Even then there weren't many.
One school 1-12. Had the same home room in grades 6,8,10. School kept growing but now it has about half the number of students. Grade one were in two old one room schoolhouses and 2-12 was in the same building close to the grade one. Both grade one teachers broughht their dogs to school and spent the day in the classrooms.
