There were many schools, and even different kinds of schools, at the time of the Black Death.
Monasteries and cathedrals ran schools for the monks, but they also ran schools for children of the nobility and other wealthy families. Some of these schools were opened as early as the sixth century, and some are still operating today. The oldest operating school today is Kings School in Canterbury, which was opened in 597. But there were schools open during the Black Death that dated back to the Roman Empire, Cor Tewdws, in Wales, being one example; it opened some time before 395 AD and was closed by Henry VIII, after the Middle Ages ended.
There were some state run schools. They were opened by a variety of kings and emperors. Again, some of these remain open to this day. The oldest open today is Beverley Grammar School, in Yorkshire. It was opened in 700 AD.
At the time of the Black Death, there were privately run institutions for education. Some of these were the abacus schools, which were originally opened when the Arabic numbering system was introduced to Europe, to teach people how to do math with them. In time, they became focused on teaching business skills to the children of merchant families, and their curriculum included both mathematics and literacy in the vernacular languages of their families. Since women often took over the businesses of their husbands when the husbands were away or ill, these schools were often coeducational. As far as I know, none of these remain.
There were schools of higher education, and these included both universities and schools more targeted at teaching a specific practice, such as medicine. The first degree granting university was opened in Bologna in 1088, and remains today. The University of Salerno, which was for many years the Salerno Medical School, is an older institution, however. It was originally opened in the 9th century as a dispensary. It was turned into a medical school by combining extant schools in Salerno, which were in turn derived from schools that fled there from Velia, when the barbarians overran the Roman Empire.
