No, a school is considered to be an enclosed place, so you have to use the из preposition if you mean moving someone or something from an enclosed space (like a chest, room etc.)

In fact, привезти детей со школы would sound as if the children were on the roof of the school and then they just plunged off the roof and into your car (or whatever)

However, you would use привезти/привести c/cо something if the something is not considered to be an enclosed space. E.G

Я привёз детей с пляжа that would be correct, because пляж isn't considered an enclosed space.
If you say привезти детей из пляжа that would sound as if the children were deep under the beach's ground
