This is only anecdotal (UK) but a friend told me a while back that the local grammar school (have to pass an exam to get in, mostly white affluent parents) had quite a few trans kids. The school mine go to is a local comprehensive that has been in and out of special measures for years and attracts a poorer income demographic to the best of my knowledge has zero trans kids. The school has no policies around trans either which leads me to believe they've not needed any so far. A lot of the kids that go there have far bigger problems than identity navel gazing.

To add - the school is pretty great in a lot of ways. There's a perception that all schools that have poorer intakes and social problems are terrible but the staff are really dedicated and I'd actually rate it as a good school even if the rankings don't. I'm grateful my kids don't get their heads filled with identity nonsense.
