What kind of hair cut should I get for back to school?

Try a style that actually works with your hair in terms of texture and curls - perhaps a layered style that tapers in at the back of your neck - you can glam this up by straightening and smoothing when you want to look really good for an evening ... or you can just towel and rough up with hands if you haven't got the time in the mornings - look through some magazines and see what takes your fancy - particularly something that suits your face shape and migh emphasise a nice feature of your face such as your eyes or goes well with the style(s) you like to dress in... visit a hairdresser or stylist and ask for opinions and advice about whether the style would work BEFORE you make an appointment.... then give yourself another couple of days to think it over and be sure that's the style you want ....
