Yes, I agree "school" is a pretty loose term used from anything ranging
from kindergarten to primary to secondary school / high school / college.
However, "college" and "university" aren't. College, as Vao Matua also
pointed out, usually refers to secondary school / high school age
education, where the buildings do have additional (lab) facilities for
science teaching, where a primary school usually wouldn't.
I am fully aware many secondary schools / high schools are currently
simply tagged "building=school". Ideally though, if there is a proper
reference to "building=college" as well, I think many of these may in
the long run be retagged to this more appropriate tag, if it clearly
explains referencing secondary / high school education.
An extra mildly complicating factor is the English education system
"university college" term... I would classify the buildings belonging to
those as "building=university", but I guess people from Britain wouldn't
necessarily.
Anyway, no tagging scheme for education will ever be perfect, the
differences between individual countries and the usage of specific
terminology is vast.

* school: tag mostly used for kindergarten or primary school:
generally only classrooms and no dedicated laboratory / science /
workshop rooms with electrity, water, gas and a range of technical
equipment
"school" is also used for some secondary schools, not just for primary
schools. It isn't typically used AFAIK for kindergartens.
Cheers,
