can a school be considered as a political place?

Of course schools are political places.

“University politics are vicious precisely because the stakes are so small.” — Henry Kissinger

Schools on every level have the blessing (or the curse) of being involved in politics on every level. They are a part of national politics as a part of the educational system of the country. They are a part of state politics as a part of the state educational system. They are DEFINITELY a part of local politics,the surrounding city/town/suburb of the school is affected by the nature of the school and vice versa.

There is political pressure from outside: parents, educational standards committees, taxpayers, and lawmakers are all political groups trying to get nosy in the school’s business. And of course there are internal politics: that of the board of trustees or board of education, the administration, the faculty, and the students. The Student Government Association is only one tiny drop in this political ocean.

Considering politics aren’t politics until we are educated in how to live in a political society, I would say a school is just about the most policital place there is.
