I love my iPad Pro, but as someone looking to use a device as basically a powerful remote terminal I think Chromebooks are better. iPad Pro is not what they released, but I have experience trying to use the device like how they'd intend for kids in schools and I would never pick iPads over Chromebooks.
In fact I keep almost buying a Pixelbook because it simply would do what I want better even though nothing would be "native" as it is on the iPad. Solid keyboard, still has touch and pen input (not that I'd really use it), and full access to browser and extra stuff.
In school you want them to have access to any of the web tools out there (chrome is best for web compatibility and developers target it where safari often lags strangely and is missing features. Try for instance to navigate http://amazon.com http://amazon.com on an iPad Pro 10.5" and you'll see the problems) with a single login system so the device doesn't matter that is easily audited and managed by a teacher with support provided by the IT at the school.
Chromebooks hands down.
