Hello Harlina-- and welcome to English-test.net.
This sentence is correct:
My house is near the school. (I mean my house is not far from the school.-- Your first sentence does not tell us that it is your school.)

Near as a preposition takes an object: 'I live near my school.'
Nearby is an adverb: 'My school is nearby'.
