ZeroTier is a virtual network adapter that allows other computers to connect to yours (and vice versa) by tunneling over the Internet.
it was already on my laptop when I got it
Where did you get the laptop ? There is a substantial risk that your laptop is still connected to a Zerotier network, maybe even on purpose by someone who wants to gain access to your computer.
It shouldn't interfere with your ability to connect to a school WiFi or any other network.
The first thing you should do is unplug and disconnect that computer from any networks.
Then, look for the ZeroTier One app. On Windows, click the window button and type "ZeroTier" or look in the app directory.
When the orange ZeroTier icon appears in your Taskbar (usually you need to click the up-arrow on the lower right taskbar near your network configuration icon) you can examine it to see what networks it is connected to.
I got it around 2021, it was a gift from someone I trust who recently passed so I doubt someone is watching lol. I don't have the Zero Tier app at all which is why I'm really confused it's interfering with things.
