Of course they are. I had a teacher, and classmates and did my school tasks. What else do you need to consider it an school?
The only difference is that there were no several classrooms - depending on your grade, you would sit at a table or another.
They are rural schools, for children in areas of difficult access.
I lived in a very small village (less than 100 inhabitants), so we had this school for the younger kids.
Older kids would find a way to go to the city - you just had to walk a few kilometers. And no, there was no bus or anything like that.
Those were the old times though, that kind of schools are slowly disappearing because hiring a bus is becoming more affordable.
There are still some, but they are becoming more and more rare.
Anyway, smallish schools (just not that small) are pretty common here. And people prefer them for their children, specially when they are young.

Yeah unless you're in town everyone's so scattered if you don't have a school bus system (or contract out to a company that does that), you're gonna have a hell of a time getting kids to school

Yeah 30 keys lol. More than that actually. So yeah, I’m more than happy to help anyone out if they need keys. I made a discussion thread for the event and you can see the item list there.
Wow 1 teacher 1 classroom….XD the only time I did that was back in grade school where we visited a historical site where they had a schoolhouse and we learned the way the old settlers learned using slate and blackboards and we sang god save the Queen as the anthem and all that. We were even told to dress in as traditional settler clothes as possible lol.

That's so amusing, really, 450 is about the size of most high schools I've worked in.
Well, I've worked in some actually small ones, which had about 200 to 250 students... and I would not have called them tiny.
When I was a little girl, I studied in a
really tiny school. It was meant only for children from 4 to 8 years old... and there were about a dozen students.
Really.
And only one teacher.
And only one classroom.
THAT is what tiny means for me.
Yeah the area I lived in as a kid had a super high population. Everyone called it a town but based on population data it is now considered a city. The fun part is its not even the biggest city in that area. Its almost completely surrounded by slightly larger cities.
I didn't even know they had one teacher schools anymore!
If you have 30 keys I really have to catch up. I have like 2 full keys.

Some. We had the original floorplan somewhere, and the sign that used to hang above the front door. It's generally above the mantel now
