To name a few:
Texas Culinary Academy
Austin, TX
Culinary Institute of America
Hyde Park Campus, Hyde Park, NY
French Culinary Institute
New York, NY
Jna Institute of Culinary Arts
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Scottsdale Culinary Institute
Scottsdale, AZ
To a certain degree. ACF (American Culinary Federation) accredited schools have restaurants run by students, so the students get some experience at line cooking. The CIA in Hyde Park, NY has several restaurants run by students, and these restaurants are pretty busy, so the students get some practice with being quick with orders.
But, you’re going to have some students who won’t learn as quickly as others. Its possible you could complete the CIA program and NOT learn how to be quick with orders. For some cooks, this takes awhile to learn, and they would need to learn it through "on-the-job-experience".
The culinary school I went to didn’t give the students much opprotunities to learn to be quick with orders. So, I would say no, in general, cooking schools do not teach to be quick with orders. They focus more on the fundamentals of cooking technique and how to run a restaurant.
Cooking Schools are designed for people to find an entry level position in a restaurant upon graduation. Line cook jobs are not entry level positions.; whereas prep cook and dishwasher jobs are entry level positions.

I want to become a celebrity pastry chef. Its my passion and I love it!!! But, I need to start off by going to the best school/college! Help!!!
Cordon Bleu in Las Vegas Used to have to go to Paris for Le Cordon Bleu so you’re lucky. Saying your trained at Cordon Bleu is like saying you are Harvard educated in the business world. Here http://www.chefs.edu/Las-Vegas. Or you can talk a restaurant like the chinese laundry into hiring you as a dishwasher and work your way up at your own pace. ( sometimes faster than school, sometimes not)
