Plenty of games have been marketed to and played in schools. Games like Extinction: The Game of Ecology [1970][1] were only available for schools. I spent my entire middle school years playing Wff 'n Proof[2] games, like Equations, On-Words, and On-Sets, where we competed on our knowledge of math, English, and symbolic logic.

Admitting that I splurged a bit when seeing this one - https://montrosebiology.bigcartel.com/category/games (the card game is in the $20 to $30 price range).

Food chain island ( https://buttonshygames.com/products/food-chain-island ) could also be something that could show up in a grade school room. It could also be further laminated for additional durability.
