Pippin:
Hermione announces to Harry during their first ride on the Hogwarts Express that she's looked into other schools and Hogwarts is by far the best. So while Hogwarts is according to JKR's interviews the only wizarding school in Britain, there's nothing to stop a Muggleborn student from applying to schools abroad.
