Pretty little girl's school.
Believe it or not, there are at least five interpretations.
1. There is a girl's school, and this school is little, and it is pretty.
2. There is a little girl, and her school is pretty.
3. There is a little girl, who happens to be pretty, and she has a school.
4. There is a girl's school, and this school is pretty little (aka not so large).
5. There is a girl who is pretty little (aka not so large), and she has a school.
Get that? If you want an illustration, you can find it here, along with other fun linguistic stuff.
