Anything below 3 floors would be considered low school

Sigh, have an upvote.

Surely any kid who went to only one high school is going to have, at the time, thought it was perfectly normal because that's all they knew? I think our school had 4 floors in both buildings

our school had 4 floors
Was it just really narrow or something in the middle of a cramped city?
in both buildings
...what

It had two buildings. Is that difficult to understand or what? Historically they were separate schools built close together. (Probably a boys and girls school but I don't remember)
Each had a main part that was a single corridor on 4 floors with classrooms off it. There were extra bits that weren't part of the main corridor, too, which weren't as tall, and the main part also wasn't all classrooms; in one building the bottom floor was, I think, just toilets and changing rooms, then admin offices, and only then were there classrooms, but I can't remember for sure. In the other building there were 3 complete floors of classrooms and I think one half floor, with the rest of the bottommost floor occupied by a gym.

No, why would I?

"Normal" is a funny word - it's means something that's completely relative to you and your experiences. So for me, I'd ask:
People that went to high school with only 1 floor, did you think that was a bit odd?
People live different lives, normal means different things to different people. Let this be a good lesson to learn: Where you went to school, what your family cooks for dinner, if you drive/walk/take the train to work/school, if you speak one language - none of what you know as "normal" is normal to someone else. More importantly, someone else who experienced different things are not "odd" and those things are also not "odd" - they are just as normal to them as yours are to you. People aren't different, odd, or weird - they're just people. They just had different experiences. Obviously I'm alluding to things, but generally even the most base thoughts like this I like to reinforce that idea.
A better way to ask that may have been upvoted would have been "People who attended high school with 3+ stories, what was that like compared to a 1-story high school?" and give an example of how you only experienced a 1 story.
For me, so many crowded stairwells between classes. You learned what floors had the best bathrooms.

No

Well, I went to wayside school, so I guess in retrospect it was a little weird, but at the time it seemed normal.
-
Oh yeah? Me too! My class was not on the 19th floor.

My middle school was bigger than my grade school. The first high school I attended was smallish but it had a lower student population, so that wasn't odd. The second high school I attended was much bigger, but it had a larger student population, so that wasn't odd either.

Do the attic or basement count as floors?
-
No, most schools I knew through friends or after school clubs where 3+ floors. I guess single floor schools would have seemed odd to me because everything is so far apart.
