You need an additional class:

public class RESPONSE  
{  
    public List<School> SchoolList;  
}   

Then you can use XmlSerializer Class to deserialize this xml.

            string xmlString = File.ReadAllText(@"C:\...\2.xml");  
            XmlSerializer xmlSerializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(RESPONSE));  
            using (TextReader reader = new StringReader(xmlString))  
            {  
                RESPONSE result = (RESPONSE)xmlSerializer.Deserialize(reader);  
  
            }
