Irgendein Kind aus der Schule.
Irgendein means: a specific object from a known selection but you don't particularly know which one.
In plural you would say:
Ein paar Kinder aus der Schule.
- Eines von den Kindern aus der Schule.
- Eines der Kinder aus der Schule.
- Irgendwelche Kinder aus der Schule. (Plural)
translates you sentence as well.
In Yiddish we have "eppis a kind vun der schul...".
As an aside, "eppis" is generally considered to be equivalent to etwas, but some authorities argue that it derives from "a bis(chen)". I find the latter theory unconvincing because etwas is otherwise missing from the Yiddish vocabulary.
