I think due to fact they said the lot is customizable and the leak map.I think the school is not active rabithole like get famous or get to work.I think the lot is a time like a regular lot

I really really hope the school isn't locked but I'm worried it will be. This pack has the potential to be really good if it is, but if not I'm rarely going to use it as it will break immersion for me to have sims from other worlds go to school at Copperdale.
So I'm hoping yes, but knowing how things have gone previously I'm guessing no. I'd rather be pessimistic and be pleasantly surprised than optimistic and disappointed.

Plus only the lot in Copperdale would have access to the football field directly behind the lot.

This is just my guess and will have to wait and see.
Lets make this a reality!
In the trailer the sports field looked like mostly set dressing, with cheerleading tied to the map object and football presumably tied to a football object (like dance floors and soccer balls from previous packs). I didn’t see anything which implied the field area was required for any of the activities which gives me some hope schools can be placed in other areas.
When I play I usually have an idea of where the worlds are related to each other. For example Sulani is very far away from the others (like Hawaii is in real life), and you can't just go there over the day. So if I have teenagers living in Sulani I would want them to go to a High School in that world, not in a world that is basically another continent. It breaks the immersion for me. Same with Mt. Komorebi. Having the possibility to create custom High Schools for each world would really sell the EP to me, and I really hope that it is a new lot type and not a locked lot.
Yes, that's certainly possible, and I can work with that. I can always pretend they're going elsewhere. And, of course, mods can help too.
This is pretty close to my feelings about it. As someone who is not particularly interested in active classes, I would be ok with having only one school in the new world, as long as my students in other worlds don't get sent there. As others have said, that would be completely immersion breaking. (It's bad enough as it is that when I choose the meet other students option, they end up making friends with kids from other worlds, but I can ignore that mostly, or handwave it with a penpals or exchange students explanation.)
That being said, my hope is that even if there's just one active school and we have a choice of regular rabbithole school, we would still have access to the same afterschool clubs. Like maybe I have one family in the new world, and the teen goes to active school and is a cheerleader after school, but then I have a family in Sulani where the teen goes to rabbithole school but still gets to participate in chess club, even if it's a rabbithole, too.
Hmm… if I try to build a school for magically gifted student then I would like to place it in Granite Falls or Windenburg Island. The regular people are afraid of magic, let’s hide our student where they will be safe.
Besides, if I try to add CC furniture and do a school for medieval times the stadium outside would be a bit of a problem.
It’s just a question of what kinds of stories you try to tell within your school.
An icon doesn't mean anything. Strangerville lab has its own icon, Von Haunt Estate has its own icon, etc.
