Two pupils were taken to hospital after using vapes brought into school.
Emergency services, including three fire engines, were called to Foxford School in Coventry on Tuesday.
A boy and a girl were taken to hospital and a 15-year-old boy has been arrested.
The school sent a message to parents saying the incident was linked ‘unknown’ vapes ‘brought into the school’.
They said: ‘Due to some students bringing in vapes and the source is not known, the police have attended to test these vapes.
‘As you are aware, vapes are not allowed on school site and student safety is paramount.’
An investigation has been launched into the content of the vapes.
The entire science block was sealed off, with reports of emergency services ‘everywhere’.

West Midlands Police said they questioned the pupil but he has since been bailed.
The Ambulance Service confirmed they took two students to hospital.
They said: ‘We received two separate calls to Foxford School and Community Arts College on Grange Road at 11.47am and 12.25pm, two ambulances attended the scene.
‘We treated two patients, a male and female teenager, before they were both taken to hospital for further assessment.’
In May a ‘terrified’ dad rushed his daughter to hospital when a hole burst in her lung after she vaped the equivalent of 400 cigarettes a week.
Mark Blight ‘cried like a baby’ when he got a call saying his daughter Kyla, 17, had collapsed and turned ‘blue’ during a sleepover at a friend’s house.
Kyla thought her habit was ‘harmless’ until that morning when her lung collapsed because excessive vaping had burst a small air blister known as a pulmonary bleb on her lungs.
