mine's?

Can I replace "the location of my school" with "mine's", assuming what I mean is already clear to others by using a possessive?
If so, what do we call that kind of possessive?

Hi, Can I replace "the location of my school" with "mine's", assuming what I mean is already clear to others by using a possessive? If so, what do we call that kind of possessive? Can you give an actual sentence as an example of what you are asking about, please?
