Yes 90% of the time if your oil light comes on your oil is low and/or needs to be changed.

"When I first start the car and drive it to shcool the light stays off,but on the way home from school it stays on the whole drive"

This part is kind of weird. Is it up-hill one way and down the other? If so you could have oil sloshing away from the sensor in the pan on the way back....but that's just a guess.
Let us know if you are low on oil and what color it is when you check it.
