Not really no. If you do it will largely be water weight and muscle loss... which is the effect most fad diets have.
What you can do is to get yourself well underway, and lose it by the early part of the school year.
Remember, if you want the weight to stay off, you have to change your habits into something that is sustainable. The main reason people's weight bounces up and down is because they dont learn to eat and exercise properly. They binge for a while, then they quickly diet... once thats over they have no idea how to eat properly so they gain weight again.
So, start easy and make gradual changes. Base your meals around lean protein sources like skinless chicken/ turkey, lean beef, tuna, cottage cheese, etc. Eat plenty of vegetables, eliminate stuff with sugar added to it, avoid processed foods in general, and moderate the amount of carbs you eat in a day.
Also, eat in anticipation of what you are about to do. If you have an active afternoon planned, you will need more calories and carbs in your lunch. If you plan to take a nap, eat a smaller meal and limit the carb intake.
So, step one is to aim for nutritious balances meals. E.g. chicken/turkey/lean beef/ etc., a potato/ 50g basmati rice/ 50g whole wheat pasta and a salad/etc, and a salad with a good oil. Or simpler alternatives could be cottage cheese, an apple or other fruit, and a few walnuts. You get the idea... a good protein source, a moderate carb source (bit higher earlier in the day, less in later when you are more static or sleeping), and a small amount of healthy fats (essential for your health).
Step 2 is exercise. Cardio is great. Weight training helps more than people realise as well. At least try to do a nice, steady 20 minute+ cardio a few times a week. If you can do more, then by all means do that.
Good luck
