That seems an odd progression. I used 5.25" floppy disks from grade 3 to grade 6, when I switched to 3.5" floppies. DVD came around my final years of school in the mid 90s and USB flash drives didn’t become widespread until the early 2000s, when I was already at uni. I remember Star Wars Dark Forces being the first game I got for my first DVD drive and that came out in 1995. I got a DVDR the next year with money we stole from the school. Me and two friends shared one DVDR because they were still so expensive.
By the time they had switched to dvds for me, you couldn’t find floppies at normal school supply stores anymore. As for the dvdrs, my parents ended up buying a pack of them and using them throughout mine and my sisters’ elementary school careers, though I think fully half ended up being used by me to burn playlists from lime/frostwire onto. Those were the days.
