I'm not exactly sure why, but based on my memory of things you have posted over the years here, I expected you to include some of these films: Heathers, Election, Teen Wolf (much more a high school comedy than a horror), Weird Science, Freaky Friday, Juno or Back to the Future.

How did I forget Heathers and Election!?!?!
I love Juno but it barely takes place at school so I don't count that as a school movie!

As a thought for Dem and other who don't like pure animation films there are plenty of films featuring stop motion animation such as King Kong, Sinbad films / Jason and the Argonauts, fiend without a face and Evil dead 1 etc.
Surely Stop motion is a category in it's own right?

I've never even seen Teen Wolf, Freaky Friday or Juno.

Back to the Future is surely sci-fi fantasy rather than high school comedy in the purest sense? Making such crossovers i can imagine some choosing The Thing and Dawn of the Dead as all the protagonists must have gone to high school at some point.

I wouldn’t class Weird Science as one either, there’s only a couple of brief scenes in the high school, and then just the gym

I would differentiate between something like King Kong (1933) and Jason and the Argonauts, which combine of stop motion animation and live-action, and purely animated films like The Nightmare before Christmas, Tim Burton's Corpse Bride, Wallace and Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit, Chicken Run, Coraline, ParaNorman, Frankenweenie, The Pirates! In an Adventure with Scientists, Mary and Max, Fantastic Mr. Fox, The LEGO Movie (and The LEGO Batman Movie), A Town Called Panic or The BoxTrolls.

However, if a film has a very high percentage of animation and barely any live-action (like The LEGO Movie), it could arguably be an animated movie. That type of criteria would be why most consider Schindler's List to be a black-and-white film when it contains several colour scenes.

I was probably stretching the definition with Juno, because (from memory) there are very few scenes at school, but I would contend that anything which involves around a group of high school friends, or focuses on something like a high school prom, would qualify.

You might be right as it has been years since I saw the film and the BD is currently on a pile in my room waiting to be watched. I remember it revolving around a couple of high school age boys creating Kelly Le Brock and something to do with school, but not much else.
