Why is it feminine?

Écoles is feminine because it derives from the Latin "schola," which was feminine in gender, and this grammatical gender was preserved through Old French into modern French. The Latin term itself may have roots in Greek "scholē" (σχολή), originally meaning leisure or free time before coming to mean a place of learning.
