My first "racing school" was the Bertil Roos open wheel school at Pocono. I went there because it was road course focused, affordable, and less than 3 hours from my home. Turned out to be a very fortunate choice. They were very professional, patient, and the cars (FF2000s) were well maintained. Classroom instruction was excellent. In-car instruction was also very good and done in Volvo V-70s. They also encouraged full family participation and provided instructor driven laps for all family members during our classroom sessions. It was a great school program which has cost me a virtual fortune in the 10 years since that first hit on the go fast crack pipe. If you have no road course experience and you have a limited school budget, it's a great entry point. Favorite quote from the Chief instructor's classroom spiel: "By days end some of you will find that this is the best thing that's ever happened to you. For others, you may find that... other sports beckon."
