schoolchildren vs school children

Both are correct; however, they're used in different contexts. "Schoolchildren" is a compound word that combines "school" and "children" into one word, commonly used to refer to children who attend school. On the other hand, "school children" is the two separate words "school" and "children" used together, often when emphasizing the distinction between children who go to school and those who don't.
