* If you mean "What is school like?": This is the most common interpretation. You would say:
* Wie ist die Schule? (This is a general question about the school itself.)
* Wie ist der Unterricht? (This asks about the lessons/teaching.)
* Wie gefällt dir die Schule? (This asks for someone's opinion: "How do you like school?")
* Wie findest du die Schule? (Similar to "Wie gefällt dir...", slightly more informal)
* If you mean something closer to "How is school similar to...?" (comparing it to something else): You'd need to specify what you're comparing it to. For example:
* Wie ähnelt die Schule...? (How is school similar to...?) followed by the thing you're comparing it to. For example, "Wie ähnelt die Schule einem Gefängnis?" (How is school similar to a prison?)
