As a rural Canadian student the closest I came to programming was the Turtle Drawer on a Apple IIe in elementary in the early 90's and then HTML in high school at the turn of the millenium. There were no resources to do more and the teachers had no education in it.
Very similar experience to me. I grew up in the 90s in a suburb of Dallas, TX. The most interesting things we did in elementary school was play Oregon Trail on Apple IIe and make obnoxious sounds in Kid Pix once we upgraded to iMacs. In High School, a CS curriculum existed but hardly any interest or marketing the AP CS classes were made. HTML and web development classes started to make its way in late 90s.
