Just like the title says, I need a magic school anime or something like that. Good examples would be Ichiban Ushiro no Daimaou and Zero no Tsukaima (or w/e it's called).

Was going to recomend Ichiban but i see you got that one covered :O

If you go to
www.anidb.net and then select "School Life" and "Mahou Shoujo" on "any weight" under search, you can get a lot of stuff from those common themes.
Recent stuff:
Shugo Chara
To Love-Ru
Kampfer
Negima
Yokuwakaru Gendai Mahou
etc... common theme is too common.
Maburaho = Harem, Magic, School Life, Fanservice.

It's quite old, it was something like this:
This one guy descendant from some super hax legendary magician comes to school, but if i recall he can only do 1 spell before he dies or something, people have limited magic spells in there. Anyways, the whole thing goes around him and a bunch of girls who want his err... babies to make a name of themselves.
I don't recall it being very good, but i think i had some laughs with it.

Err... no. OP asked for magic school setting, think of it as something ala Harry potter (the school setting, not the plot itself!) Most of those shows don't fit the category.
So, Mahou Shoujo != Magic School setting.

Edit, failed to notice Negima (More DBZ than Magic School Setting to be honest) and I don't know Yokuwakaru Gendai Mahou tbh :O

Thanks ^^, that list would be helpful. I guess I can give mabuharo a shot, though I think I watched it in the past, not exactly sure.

I am not a hardcore anime nerd so I can't really see the difference...
So, whats the difference compared to all the other ones you and OP listed? o_O
All those have girls doing some kind or is involved in some kind of magic.

Pi pikachu, pi pika.
(Take pika's advice, if you watch Shugo Chara, watch the first two seasons and stop. Don't watch the Party or whatever it is one, it totally sucked after that with 10 minute episodes that were boooring. Pika would have rather watched the fillers.)

Setting the Elements->Fantasy->Magic and Settings->School Life also gives some more as well in that website. It is a good website to find stuff you are looking for. Lists the groups that ripped/subbed it as well.

Neither Kampfer nor Shugo Chara have a magic School Setting, just because some magic is involved doesn't mean the world is magical itself. I think OP is looking for anime where magic is a norm in the world. I guess you could throw early Negima into what OP is looking, but for me it became too DBZ-ish. I don't remember TLR being about magic either, it had some supernatural elements, but just that.

to OP, Fantasy =/= Magic. Shoulda made title Magical/Mahou School Anime. Fantasy can represent magic as well as many more things such as supernatural powers, ghosts, etc., etc.
Mahou + School
Happiness! - I only watched this for Jun.
Macademi WAsshoi! - Fun show, has a decent amount of parodies as well. Even used the scouter.
Negima!? - Shaft version, I do not recommend 'Mahou Shoujo Negima!', "Negima!?" is way better, it doesn't follow the manga but that gives you a reason to watch it than to just read the manga. It's also more fun with better artwork.
Prism Ark - Magic? Somewhat. Fighting? Somewhat. Good? Not really. Fits Magic+School though.
Now here are some Fantasy School genres.
Fantasy+School
Busou Renkin - Shounen Jump series. Self Explanatory.
Girls Bravo! Season 1 & 2 - Random girl from another world appears out of a boys bath tub. The boy is afraid of girls.
Kannagi - Guy makes a sculpture out of sacred tree which then turns into a goddess.
Mai Hime - Random girls are giving 'powers' and are required to fight one another til last one standing. Like 1 yuri or incest scene i think.
Rosaria+Vampire - Typical harem with girls protecting guy. (Manga is much better)
Sora no Otoshimono - An angeloid is sent to a guy... a very perverted guy. But he has his good sides.
To-Love Ru - Already been recommended
Vampire Knight - Twilight, anime version.

Someone obviously din't read Mai Hime/ Mai Otome no Zwei yet.
There's 3 series to the Mai Hime/Otome manga/ anime, you might like to check them out. Mild hentai included though, so be wary of that.
And no, they don't have to fight each other, where the hell did you get that idea from?

Tell you the truth, I only watched to the point where they showed all the things they could summon or w/e. Then i just skipped to the last episode seeing that the main girl, with large breast, was the one who ended up 'winning' or 'is the strongest' even though she didn't want to fight, iirc, but then had to fight that one bad guy dude where the other guy appeared with some sword, blah blah etc etc. o_o
Didn't watch Otome because I couldn't take the main characters look, it was killing me inside. Watched like 1~2 episodes though.
