"Stumbling up the school steps, Kari fell on something."

I think you are correct in your thinking. School does describe the steps. Stumbling would describe how somebody was walking on those steps.

I would say stumbling.

The descriptive adjective in the sentence is "school," which describes the noun "steps." This adjective helps specify the type of steps referred to in the context of the sentence. Thus, "school" provides essential information about the noun it modifies.
