Another option would be to set up a custom object for the schools. You would use the company object for the district and create a custom object for the schools – which you can then associate. This is an Enterprise feature: https://knowledge.hubspot.com/crm-setup/use-custom-objects
If you're on the free CRM, Starter or Professional, unfortunately, there currently isn't a bulk solution at the moment. HubSpot deduplicates company records by company domain so it would have to be another object or a company child.

You could try and 'fake' the domain name for the Company record, but it may or may not suit your needs.
For example, let's say the district domain is "districtone.com" which has three schools, A, B and C. There is nothing theoretically to stop you from creating three companies with domain names like this:
Those sub-domains don't actually have to exist. From my testing with this, the `districtone.com` domain does have to exist, but you can actually use any sub-domain you like underneath that.
Obviously, this may not help you at all - as @karstenkoehler says, there's no way to maintain the relationship properly between school and district, and any new contacts you add won't be automatically associated with the company based on the email domain, but it might help you if those things are not important to you.
But it's clearly a bit of a hacky approach, so do test it very thoroughly!
