Then the tagging for primary and secondary would better be:

school:ML=primary/secondary...

The other alternative would be to use isced:level

Both of them are better than two different tags:

school:first_cycle=yes/no and school:second_cycle=yes/no

As Renaud is doing all the conversion with a python script, he
probably want to do it with python too and in the same code. This doc
might help doing it:
