全校 is the everyday word for the entire school (all students and staff), while 一校 can carry the same meaning but sounds slightly more formal or literary.
初校 unambiguously means the first proof in publishing, whereas 一校 can also mean 'one school,' so context decides which sense is meant.
一行 (いっこう) means a group or party of people traveling together, and is pronounced exactly like 一校 (いっこう) 'one school,' so listeners must rely on context.
一考 (いっこう) means 'some thought or consideration' and shares the same pronunciation as 一校 (いっこう) despite having no relation in meaning.
Compound of 一 (one) and 校 (school/proofreading). The proofreading sense derives from the counting suffix 校 used for proofs.
