At / in school = in class

The boys are now at / in school.
=The boys are now in class.

All of a sudden, I would like to know if 'in school' can be interchangeable with 'in class' for the same meaning in the context?

What do you native English speakers think? Thank you so much as usual in advance.

Children can be at or in school but not necessarily in class . They may be in assembly, in detention, on the games field or having lunch, but they are only in class when having lessons.
