An optical telescope cannot be used during cloudy days. Of course, this assumes that the telescope is located somewhere on the Earth's surface and therefore subject to weather. Since clouds obscure the sky - and any heavenly object otherwise visible - the optical telescope will be unable to see anything. A radio telescope, however, can see through clouds, simply because clouds do not block or cause significant interference to radiowaves reaching the Earth's surface from space.

Which is most likely part of a weather station in a school is it a balance scale and magnifying lens and rain gauge or a telescope?

The most likely part of a weather station in a school would be a rain gauge. This instrument is used to measure the amount of precipitation that falls in a given period of time. A balance scale and magnifying lens typically are not used in weather stations for measuring weather conditions. A telescope is more commonly used for astronomical observations and not for monitoring weather.
