I suspect a challenge here is that there's simply not that great a need for schools, and that office buildings tend to be far more clustered than school needs are.
If higher education, schools also typically have a range of classroom / lecture room sizes which office building are poorly suited to match. Seminar-to-classroom size (5--30 students), perhaps, but not mid-to-large lecture halls (100--500 or more students), without some major redesign.
Though theatre conversions might work. I'm thinking of a lecture hall with Imax A/V capabilities....
That's one potential alternative use, I'm sure, but probably not the best.
