I don't know who wrote the first magic school's type book, but it certainly well predates Rowling. But full marks to Rowling for writing a series good enough to now be almost synonymous with the genre.

I've read the first several of those as well and liked them, but then again, he's an indie. There are a few non indie that I've seen, but the point was simply that it's a popular theme for indie writers and there aren't all that many non indie. Keep in mind that the theme isn't magic schools per se, but rather teen age girls in magic school, thus the romance twist. Schooled in Magic does fall in that category, IMPO.
