As far as I know 'instalación' literally means 'establishment', which could be applied to a school but not only to a school.

But as for escuela and cole or colegio I think it's often a regional difference between how they are used and understood.

This thread discusses it at length.

Also don't forget instituto for high school or secondary school.
