Your sentence has two parts: "Is this the school... ?" and "you visited".
"you visited" is a relative clause or subsentence. It identifies which school you are talking about. In order to connect the clause with the main sentence, we use a relative pronoun, in this case "that". But is not a must. We can leave it out. So, we can say:
Is this the school you visited?
