Scholar's Mate is always four moves. It can occur in many ways. For example  http://www.chess.com/echess/game.html?id=5814861

There is no specifically named five move mate and there would be even more ways to do this. This is an example where the Scholar's Mate was stymied but mate occurred one move later.  http://www.chess.com/echess/game.html?id=58865
