This is great news because I was able to buy
Madam during the Barnes & Noble Bookhaul.
I've added the others to the list.

Some Carol Goodman books are set at girls' boarding schools. Then there are Lois Duncan's Down a Dark Hall and Daughters of Eve. And maybe Marisha Pessl's Special Topics in Calamity Physics.

It's interesting how many of these books are often in the Mysteries & Thriller section of the bookstore -- and many others are in the YA section. That can make finding a book a challenge if I'm prowling through the bricks & mortar bookstore. But it's a form of exercise.
I noticed that
Special Topics in Calamity Physics was often recommended as a dark academia book. I think the others you added count as well.
