"School Psychology" is not just a synonym for "educational psychology",
but rather a licensable specialization. For example, here is a section from
the Wisconsin statutes:
==============================
Only an individual licensed under s. 455.04(1), Wis. Stats., may use the
title "psychologist" or any similar title or state or imply that he or she
is licensed to practice psychology, and only an individual licensed under s.
455.04(4), Wis. Stats., may use the title "private practice school
psychologist" or any similar title or state or imply that he or she is
licensed to engage in the private practice of school psychology. Only an
individual licensed under s. 455.04(1) or (4), Wis. Stats., may represent
himself or herself to the public by any description of services
incorporating the word "psychological" or "psychology".
Effective October 1, 1996, no person may engage in the practice of
psychology or the private practice of school psychology, or attempt to do so
or make a representation as authorized to do so, without a license issued by
the Wisconsin Psychology Examining Board.
==============================
"Educational Psychology" is a more generic term for an academic area of
interest, like "Cognitive Psychology", for example.
