Three: Public school for kindergarten because the parochial school didn't have kindergarten. Then parochial school for grades 1 through 8, then a Catholic high school from grades 9 through 12. My parents bought their house on the GI Bill after WWII and neither moved from it until my mother died. People don't settle in like that as much anymore.
I went to 8 different schools in 6 different cities in 4 different states, including a couple schools in Houston, but not the ones the OP went to. I went to one school 1st-4th but then moved frequently after that. I lived in 18 different houses by the time I was 18. By contrast, my wife lived in 1.
One each for elementary, junior high, and high school. My family never moved from before my birth until after I got married.
OP, what was going on when you were in high school?
The main factor is that my parents divorced and both remarried (mother remarried 7 times, father remarried twice). But there was a lot of other stuff going on too.
