Words always go back to what are called origins. In this case, school comes from a word that means 'place where lectures are given'. The origins go way back to the Old Greek, Old French (escole) and Old English (scolu). We now call it school.

∙ 14y agoThe word "school" comes from the ancient Greek "skhole" meaning leisure spent in the persute of knowledge (our formative years?) then through the Latin "schola" meaning place of learning and onto the Old English "scol".
How it came to be applied to fish schools was from "shoal" which in turn came from the Old English "scolu". meaning to form a group.
Hope this answers your question.
