The photographer's contract with the school photo company is almost
certainly "work for hire" with the photo company owning the copyrights.
That's why there are no examples of the photographer's school photo work
on his website.

BTW, regarding using their own gear: There could be an interesting
twist if the photographers are using their own gear, especially if
they are getting 1099 tax form, and not W-2 (which might be the case,
especially it sounds like a seasonal job, according to the reviewer
on Glassdoor). In that case, the photographer might not be considered
"an employee" but "an independent contractor".
If that's the case, then the copyright on the photos belongs to the
photographer, not to the studio, unless it is explicitly written
differently in the contract. I would assume, that they have written
that in the contract. It doesn't matter to me as a customer, it's
just a curious aspect of the copyright laws.
