i'm in the school vs I'm at school

Both "I'm in the school" and "I'm at school" are correct, but they are used in different contexts. "I'm at school" is the more common and natural way to express that you are physically present at a school location. On the other hand, "I'm in the school" could be used to specify that you are inside the school building or within the school premises.
