Although working at a startup will give you the most experience I feel that people mainly go to startup school to hear success stories and be in the company of other entrepreneurs(as well as look for like-minded people to be involved in their project). I'd assume that the majority of the people probably already have a business in the works and are past looking for a co-founder. Correct me if I'm wrong as I've never attended the school myself.

The two aren't mutually exclusive. I went to the 2005 startup school and work at an existing startup.
Also, judging by the people I met at the startup school - few have an actual business with customers and such, except for YCombinator founders (in most cases, not even them ;-)). If they did, they'd probably be attending to the business instead. Many, however, had an idea for a business or a very-early-stage business (some product development, possibly a small prototype in front of potential customers).
