The boy was said to be in a comfortable condition at the Royal Halifax Infirmary after the incident at Holy Trinity Senior School in the Holmfield area of the town.
A West Yorkshire police spokesman said another 17-year-old had been arrested and was being questioned in connection with the incident.
Terry Cobb, a senior teacher at Holy Trinity, said: "The head and the chair of governors are investigating the incident and at this point there is no further comment."
