Which "school" did you have in mind? If you mean "high school", then
the answer
is that you won't find it. If you mean "college", then yes, you can
find such
algorithms in college level textbooks. Knuth's "The Art of Computer
Programming"
vol 2 contains an excellent introduction to algorithms that are
certain to factor
any polynomial.

The mathematics involved in general polynomial factoring algorithms is
definitely
college-level.
