When did the school start?
When does the school start?
-- Which of the above looks absolutely correct as per the grammar rules.

Neither is really idiomatic because of the article. If you drop the, it will sound a lot better. But even with the article, they are both grammatical. – Jason Bassford Dec 10 '19 at 4:11

Both are good,
The first (when did) means a question about the past, for example: "Two days ago, when did the school start?"
The second (when does) means a question about the present or future, for example: "Tomorrow, when does the school start?"
