That’s usually due to an issue with the scissor hinge and can commonly be fixed, but it’s a touchy procedure. DO NOT DO THIS if it’s school owned and you aren’t confident in your ability to do it - you WILL SCREW UP if you aren’t 100% ready.
What you can do is try to take the key off with something like a nail cleaner from nail clippers, try and adjust with it attached (remove the mech if need be), reassemble the two halves and put the key back on and that often fixes the problem, but not every time. If it doesn’t, the contact pad is bad or the key has an issue that requires a new key or mech. If you have long nails, that also tends to work. I usually use a spudger or nails since I keep them a little long for jobs like this (but not long enough to inadvertently invite a bottle of nail polish :P).
I have attached a a photo of the long nail approach for you, since that may be better for someone school aged, who likely can’t buy the tools without parental consent.
Again, if school owned use caution and say NOTHING!

it i school owned so who can do it?
@alpha404 I would use caution and make sure you're able to do it. Do not announce intent.
what do you mean do not announce intent
@alpha404 Say nothing. If they ask, deny any attempts. Make them prove it.
I don't have a HP Chromebook to use, so I grabbed a WIP Dell to show you*.
*I'm used to the Dells, so I know how to do it both ways. Use caution if you've never done something like this before. It looks easier said then done for the example machine because the E7 keyboard is similar to the E6 series.
so I shouldn't tell them about it?
