Might be worth verifying that the MAC address remains the same every time the laptop is connected to WiFi.
There are numerous articles on the web showing where in iOS this feature can be disabled, such as:

The school obviously has to allow users to access some parts of the WiFi settings so that they can log onto their home WiFi network.

yea...I checked I do not have the permissions and so planning to talk to school. On the circle , I have a catch all profile and even in that profile I did block the site, game app, etc. Still this is the only one going thru, rest of the systems (in catch all) are getting blocked.
Its bit frustrating . My wife works at a hostpital and on her apple laptop these filters are working. I need to check both of these laptops and their versions.
