Key:school

[[Category:Key descriptions with status "unsupported “inuse” status"|school]]

This key is used for school-related things, usually used to tag types of schools, in combination with tags like amenity=school.
Common values according to Taginfo include:

• school=entrance - should be replaced by entrance=*
• school=primary - should be replaced by isced:level=*
• school=secondary - should be replaced by isced:level=*
• school=yes - should be removed/replaced by amenity=school
• school=music - should be replaced with amenity=music_school
• school=elementary - should be replaced by isced:level=*
• school=sport
• school=blind - schools for the blind and visually impaired people
• school=kindergarten - should be replaced by amenity=kindergarten
• school=professional_education - professional schools to learn job skills (often for adults), sometime for those who have lost their jobs
• school=art

However, these usages conflict with each other. Perhaps school=primary and others should be replaced by isced:level=*.

Usage on routes

On type=route and type=route_master relations, school=yes indicates that a route is intended for transporting students. For example, in conjunction with route=bus, it distinguishes a school bus route from a general-purpose bus route.
