I think you are on "thin ice" with this issue. You will be doing business with middle school and high school students, not adults. Therefore, there are still minors, and legally cannot be bound to a contract. If the service you were offering was homework assistance, then you would be fine. If a student took work that you did and turned it in with a representation that it was their own work, then that might be an issue for the student, but not for you.
