[Tagging] Can OSM become a geospacial database?

[OSMDoudou]

So, are you then asking how to find this school or any other, without searching through the name tag ?

Then, search for elements tagged with amenity=school.

And if you want to search elementary schools, search for school=* or isced:level=* (provided it’s tagged).

https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:isced:level

This school happens to be tagged with school:FR=élémentaire.
