If one light goes out on a series-parallel connected string, all of the lights in that particular series string will go out. The other parallel strings will not be affected. If you are asking about Christmas tree lights, please note that most modern low voltage bulb designs make the bulb short out, rather than open, when the filament burns out. This keeps the other bulbs in that series string on, although they now have more power and are more likely to also burn out.

When a bulb in series goes out it leaves a gap, which breaks the circuit, leaving no pathway that the electricity can take.

Are the lights in your school connected in series current or parallel current?

Overhead lights are typically connected in parallel. If they were connected in series, then, if one light went out, all of the lights would go out. Think of Christmas lights, they are connected in series. When one of the lights burns out, the whole string of lights goes out.

How did Edison's light bulb work?

Electricity goes through the "electrical foot contact", heats up the wires (connected to the tungsten filament) therefore lighting the light bulb up. The filament is supported by wires. The glass mount holds up the two wires connected to the filament. That is how I think the light bulb works. Have a look.
