There were reports of black smoke coming from within the school.
Firefighters quickly found and extinguished a blaze in the office of the school, officials said.
Officials previously said it could take 12 to 18 months to repair the damage.
Police said two 13-year-old boys and one 14-year-old boy have since been arrested and charged with break and enter, as well as arson causing damage to property.
