Fairly obviously, it depends on the particular school library in question.
I did find some statistics from the US Department of Education. In the most recent year I could find data for (2007-2008), the average elementary school library in the US had 2,316 books for every 100 students and the average secondary school library had 1,432 books for every 100 students (presumably the secondary school books tend to have more text per book).

DevinThe number of books in a library can vary substantially, depending on the individual library. For example: a small, corporate library may only consist of a few dozen books; a public library system can easily have tens of thousands of books; an academic/research library can have a collection that is in the tens of millions. The Library of Congress, which is one of the two largest libraries in the world, has over 36.8 million (catalogued) books.
