Quickly is the adverb because school is a noun.
A noun is a person, place, or thing; meanwhile, quickly is an adverb and does not need to be in the sentence. It is an additional detail.

Answer:

Quickly.

Step-by-step explanation:

Adverb is a word that is used to describe a verb, or an action.

For example, the word "passed" is a verb, because it is an action you do, for example: I passed you on the way to my next class in the hallway.

In this case, "quickly" is used to help describe "passed", and to give a reader a sense of the speed in which the school year passed.
