The 300 best-scored of the 1468 school anime with a page here, ranked by the median score the listing sites give them (every one scores 6.5 or better). Type, episodes and total hours on every row, so the two of you can see what fits tonight before you argue about it.
School is a setting, not a genre, so this list runs from romantic comedy to thriller; read the tags as well as the title. Kaguya-sama and Boku no Kokoro no Yabai Yatsu are the light end, Death Note and Code Geass the tense end, and Bocchi the Rock! is twelve episodes about a painfully shy guitarist that fits a weekend.
