"in school" can mean the same thing, but often is used to indicate that someone is enrolled in some course of study or that school is ones primary activity. q: What's John up to these days? a: He's in [medical, law, etc.] school. This answer is true and correct even if John is currently shopping, at home, or anywhere else (including at school).
