<p>Yes, I agree "school" is a pretty loose term used from anything
ranging from kindergarten to primary to secondary school / high
school / college. <br>
</p>
<p>However, "college" and "university" aren't. College, as Vao Matua
also pointed out, usually refers to secondary school / high school
age education, where the buildings do have additional (lab)
facilities for science teaching, where a primary school usually
wouldn't.<br>
</p>
<p>I am fully aware many secondary schools / high schools are
currently simply tagged "building=school". Ideally though, if
there is a proper reference to "building=college" as well, I think
many of these may in the long run be retagged to this more
appropriate tag, if it clearly explains referencing secondary /
high school education.</p>
<p>An extra mildly complicating factor is the English education
system "university college" term... I would classify the buildings
belonging to those as "building=university", but I guess people
from Britain wouldn't necessarily.</p>
<p>Anyway, no tagging scheme for education will ever be perfect, the
differences between individual countries and the usage of specific
terminology is vast.<br>

<div>"school" is also used for some secondary schools, not
just for primary schools. It isn't typically used AFAIK
for kindergartens.<br>
