there seems to be so many

May I suggest the following generality (I taught in a school for 5 years):

Golf schools are good for getting started. You get intense multi-day lessons that are designed around a set of general lesson plans that introduce concepts. You share the experience with others, and that is sometimes good, as they divert the pressures and create "safe to fail" enjoyment.

Golf schools are not good for students of the game where they are looking for tips for their swing to help them improve dramatically. You are going to be taught according to the school's philosophy, and not tailored to your swing.

I always knew there was going to be an unhappy student with the pace of the lessons, the number of stations you have to rotate through and the "general rule" approach. When I saw that start to happen, I always approached the student and let them know that I will be happy to have a session after to work on anything specific outside the curriculum. That helped, but not all instructors are going to do that.

I suggest the $ you would lay out for the 2, 3, 4 or even the marathon 5 day school for $2,000 would be much better spent on an individual instructor for a multi-session plan. You would have the luxury of even going to a few different instructors sampling them, getting different rates and experiencing them to get one that you think is both worth the money they want to charge, work in multi-session discounts, and create a long term improvement plan that is perfectly tailored to you.

But, if you like the idea of a school in some exotic place with the "vacation" aspect thrown in where they feed and pamper you, this could also be the right choice. But, it sounds like you want to lower your hdcp, not drink mint-juleps.
