Biology did seem more like a recitation of facts in school to me, but it was very different in university. I think part of it was having a pretty bad teacher, but also the school textbooks are just so much worse than the introductory textbooks for university.
I think some parts are fixable, others are difficult. A part of the problem is that you need to cover some parts in more depth if you want to really make sense of them. Without some basic chemistry and thermodynamics knowledge the entire metabolic pathways seem very arbitrary. This is probably hard to fit into the amount of time you have in school for those subjects.
