If you think that say Sociology is a science, then sure. IMO it really depends on how much you really on the statistical indications of standardized tests and grades.
Overall I'm going to say no. While there is some scientific basis and "education theory" that forms the basis of educational methods, far too much is left up to the individual teacher's "style" and there is far too little concrete data upon which to judge different teaching methods. In short, the scientific method does not fully apply.
