School is an English word; It has its roots in Old English which was Germanic. The modern equivalents in other Germanic languages are:

Afrikaans = skool

Danish = skole

Dutch = school (this should look familiar)

German = Schule

Icelandic = skóla

Norwegian = skole

Swedish = skola

In French it is école. High School in French is Lycee.

As you should be able to tell, the English "school" is much more closely tied to Germanic languages than to any Romance language like French.
