reminds me of when i see articles in the news in my country sometimes, with headlines like : "Man found with drugs within 500 meters of school"

There are schools everywhere, usually in places where there are lots of other amenities like shops, and doctors, and pubs.

Yes, when there are schools every few miles, it's very likely that any given thing will end up within range of a school.
