Why is it feminine?

Scuole is feminine because it derives from Latin "schola," which was also feminine—likely because the word originally referred to a place of leisure or discussion before acquiring its educational meaning, and many Latin nouns ending in "-a" were feminine by gender convention. This feminine gender was simply preserved as the word evolved into Italian.
