com A bureaucratic school is a school administered in a highly organized way, with many procedural rules that must be followed even if they are inefficient. "bureaucratic" is often used to refer to systems and institutions in a negative way. People who have to do business with a very bureaucratic institution are often frustrated by the number of procedures they must follow and the amount of paperwork they must complete to get even the simplest tasks accomplished.
