You can try contacting that school to see if they will remove the laptop from their MDM assuming the laptop was not stolen. Otherwise you should return the laptop for a full refund since @TheLittles is correct as there is nothing else you can do. Unfortunately this is one of the dangers of purchasing a used Mac these days, with a firmware password lock being the other one.

Troubleshooting Used Macs:

Being a used device, contact the site you purchased it at. Seems you've been scammed. This is the site the seller should have used prior to selling it to you: What to do Before you Sell, Give Away, or Trade In your Mac - Apple Support. The seller should have known better.
