The answer is simple - they have a set of the school already built at their studio so it is cheaper and easier to set scenes there.

Within the context of the show - the main characters are in High School so much of their daily lives revolve around school.

As for Ms. Blake's visit to the storage area in the boiler room, that was a plot device to place her in danger. It is not unusual for older school buildings, with limited space, to maximize storage any way they can.

Peter's rampage was him out of control - the rest of the Alpha wolves we've seen have never reached that point of violence or insanity. All Alpha's can take on the monstrous form but they chose not too.

It is also expensive to do a full CGI character like Season 1 Peter - the production has decided to spend their money on other things.

The pole missed all of Derek's vital organs and the tomahawk only lodged in Peter's sternum - neither are life threatening.

With Boyd, Derek's claws penetrated vital organs - the lungs primarily. Injuries inflicted by an Alpha also heal more slowly and are more deadly than other werewolves.

I suspect you only posted this to complain but hopefully the information will be useful to other users who actually enjoy the show.
