The word school (or shoal) isn't defined by a specific number but simply means 'a large group or multitude', similar to words such as flock (of sheep/birds), gaggle (of geese), herd(of cattle), swarm (of bees), pack (of hounds), business (of ferrets), mob (of kangaroos), mess (of iguanas), pride(of lions), plague (of locusts) or murder (of crows).

Actually, it is called a 'pod', and the number varies by species. Some are just small family groups that only get together occasionally with larger groups. Off the coast of Southern California are 'superpods' of as many as 5,000 dolphins, which incidentally are 'toothed whales'. The Gray whales, which are baleen whales, generally forage singly or in small groups, but in close proximity to pods of 10 to 100 individuals.
