"School's Out", also known as "School's Out for Summer," is a 1972,
title-track single released on Alice Cooper's fifth album. And there's also
"School Is Out." by Gary U.S. Bonds, from 1963.

"Both definitely with reference to the summer vacation...," to quote an
eminent authority.

Does

"School is done" or "School's done"

work for anyone?
