That's a Franklin Ace. They were Almost Completely But Not Quite II compatible. Great machines tho, had a bunch of those under my wings in high school.

Ah those old friggin drives that would bang the head on the stop multiple times as it started up.

I wonder what ever happened to the ones the school had. Probably trashed.

I bought most of my Apple II systems at a school auction. IIRC it was originally 16 II+ and IIE systems with floppy drives, monitors, and memory cards. Pieced out about half the systems on ebay over a couple of years and the rest are still with me. Damn robust machines.
