Does the management configuration include any firmware-level restrictions?

If you erase the entire disk and install a fresh copy of macOS, you should be fine, unless macOS downloads management information automatically. I don't know how Apple's MDM tools work. If this is your machine, ask the school to remove it from their system. If it's from the school, why are you tampering with school property?
