Few Schools are actually good, and offer real world training for the money. But they are out there if you do the research and take a good tour. My honest advice, as a graduate of one of the finest schools I could find...
Buy the book : Yamaha Sound Reinforcement Handbook (Second Edition)
Much of the material you learn at a recording school is within these pages. I really mean it. Read it from page one, take your time, understand it chapter by chapter, and take it all in. Some of it is complicated but if you read it carefully enough it all falls into place. I honestly suggest reading that book, and maybe picking up a couple others (I have loads worthy of suggestions, as do others on this forum... infact here's a link [

If you do, well then you are already ahead of the learning curve at school, and you can spend more time concentrating on more advanced techniques because you already have a true understanding of the ever so important fundamentals.
Its a good book, really almost all engineers should have a copy. Most schools hand it out as part of the tuition.
