Not American here, but isn't any structured organisation providing what is essentially a schooling service considered a school? Asking genuinely

I suppose technically yes, but not in normal conversation (in Britain at least). It's not like it's completely nonsensical, but to us school is primary and secondary education, higher education is university; they're distinctly different things and saying "gets kicked out of school" would be way less ambiguous.

US people like to give everything a different name. They often repurpose names from elsewhere thus bringing much confusion to online spaces. It's their thing.
