I was surprised to see this story. I wonder if this is fake news?

Don't think so

my spanish as rather weak but the translations seemed about right.
I think that letting the kids be themselves is not a bad thing.

Hard to say for sure.

But it seems legit enough to me even if the only spanish i know is to say thanks for the food:P Though i kinda see it as both a step forward and a sted backwards if it's real, i wonder if there will ever be a day where transgeder people generally accepted worldvide.
Still in some countries, schools like that can definitely be a good thing, as it stands right now we still have a long way to go for equality worldvide. Or anywhere really.
But yeah pretty surprising, never heard of anything like that before.

Seems legit

I've generally found BBC to be reliable in the past. I don't see any detail that immediately seems odd.

It's real.

It's real.

Multiple sources have featured the school since it opened. A Google search came up with multiple reports like an NBC article on it in January. It's legitimate.

I'm told STFU more times in a day than most people get told in a lifetime

Seem ligit

Doing an online search, I found the story on 8 different web sites including AP. They all seem to draw from the same source for text, however, AP and a couple of others have different photos.

The most in depth article is in a Spanish language site With a link to another story of a particular student. . Using Google translate (my Spanish is limited to a few useless phrases and smattering of swear words) I was able to read it and its in depth writing leads me to believe the story is legit.
