I would like to nominate Kazuo Ishiguro's
Never Let Me Go. For those who have not read or heard about it, I don't want to say too terribly much save that a good portion of the book is set in a school. Here is the description from Amazon:
Quote:

As children Kathy, Ruth, and Tommy were students at Hailsham, an exclusive boarding school secluded in the English countryside. It was a place of mercurial cliques and mysterious rules where teachers were constantly reminding their charges of how special they were. Now, years later, Kathy is a young woman. Ruth and Tommy have reentered her life. And for the first time she is beginning to look back at their shared past and understand just what it is that makes them special—and how that gift will shape the rest of their time together.

The book was published in 2005, so I am hoping that the age would make library availability feasible for many of us.
