by picking the school of necromancy do you unlock all necromancy spells or just a couple
At present, what school a spell is from doesn't affect what casters can learn it. Any caster can learn all spells from their class list based on their exact spellcasting mechanic, and there's a couple ways a certain subclass might learn additional spells. Necromancers can more readily learn Necromancy spells from other spellbooks, but the mileage on that feature varies a lot from one campaign to the next and as noted actual Necromancy spells are a bit light on the ground.
Also, I don't think they're that terribly shorted on spells; quick check of the spells gives me 29 Necromancy Wizard spells to 35 Enchantment and 33 Illusion. And those have a spell or two that have a basic rules version and a PHB version because of trademarked names, so that narrows the gap a bit.
