The number of children in school in each household may be put in a
variable by
egen inschool = total(school), by(household_code)
-inschool- will thus be constant within household.
You can tag just one observation in each household by
egen tag = tag(household_code)
and then
tab inschool if tag
See also various FAQs, e.g.

members of a group (or all members of a group)
possess some characteristic?

I am stumped on what i thought was an easy problem. I have children
(id_code) within
families(household_code) who go to school (1) or not(0). How do I find
the mean values (or even
table) at the household level for how many children are in school? I
know I can use xtsum to get
the std dev within and between, but about just finding out: the number
of families with ALL
children in school, SOME children in school and NO children in school,
e.g.
+--------------------------------------------+
| househ~e id_code sex age school |
|--------------------------------------------|
4. | 1 4 Female 6 0 |
9. | 2 3 Female 12 0 |
10. | 2 4 Male 8 1 |
14. | 3 3 Female 12 0 |
15. | 3 4 Male 10 1 |
|--------------------------------------------|
16. | 3 5 Male 14 1 |
23. | 4 3 Female 14 0 |
24. | 4 4 Female 12 1 |
25. | 4 5 Female 6 0 |
32. | 5 5 Female 13 . |
