It seems people are using amenity=school combined with either of the
following keys:

school:type=*   http://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/keys/school:type
school_type=*  http://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/keys/school_type

The question is, does amenity=school imply only general education? Or can
it also be used for specialized schools?
