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

Both 'I'm in the school' and 'I'm at the school' are correct, but they are used in different contexts. 'I'm in the school' implies that you are physically inside the school building, while 'I'm at the school' suggests that you are at the location of the school but not necessarily inside the building.
