Educational Directories have listings of the schools, colleges and other educational institutions for an area. They may list the officials and/or teachers or masters, and the system of education.
With these directories you may find where your ancestors attended school. This directory for Canada also has some suggested plans for school buildings...
I notice that many school house teachers are the reverend of the church. My ancestor had left the town of Ellon, Aberdeenshire before 1873, so his children went to school in Canada. But I imagine some of his friends went here. Oddly they don't seem to be in any kind of order.
There are other Educational Directories at HathiTrust. Also use keywords "school board directory", "educational yearbook", "public school directory", etc and various combinations with place of interest.
You will also find names of schools in many City Directories and almanacs.
