Yes and no. It may be installed but sometimes it is removed by the schools or the initial access to it by any given user without an admin account can access.
My school computers have been stripped of just about everything, they are new computers, about 2 years old, they over do it with internet security, (About 1 in 3 links you click is blocked). Most things have been removed from even bothering to be able to use, they have figured out how to now disable the use of any bat programs, (I attempted to do command.com with a .bat to get cmd and I can no longer do that.)
Our computers run at 2.0 Framework, they have disabled the use of any .exe applications to execute except .doc .txt and such associated names to what has been downloaded.
My school has essentially freaked out.

Wish it was Freshmen year again, I found an exploit in their entire school wide connected database. Since our school has all of their information loaded into one main server with all teacher information as a backup I was able to work my way into it...
Fun thing about it all, I got all my test answers and everything that had been loaded into the computers and saved.
(Computer Drafting.. came out with an A since I got all his files, got Biology and everything.) They patched it the next year.
It was a matter of clicking here and there and there and her and there and here and there and here and there and here changing a couple lines in some of the files so it would let me by...
Now they have learned about something called, encryptions... <-- Lol
