I am assuming "szkole" is the locative case of "szkoła".

And assuming correctly.

Does this mean 'my sister is physically in the school building' or something like 'my sister goes to school' (or both)?

Until a native speaker chimes in with a better (correct) answer: I think it means both "My sister is (physically) in (the) school (building)" and "My sister is (enrolled) in (and attends) school". However, to say my sister 'goes' (in a similar meaning to the latter sentence) to school is probably better phrased as "Moja siostra chodzi do szkoły".
