Explanation:
The error is, the sentence must have the usage of plural of friend, i.e. friends.
The reason behind this is the narrator is mentioning a friend out of many friends he or she has.
Also, the comma is used unnecessarily in the sentence.
Therefore, the correct sentence with proper usage of plural of friend and punctuation marks is; One of my friends is leaving the school.

One of my friends is a lawyer.
- In the above sentence, the error is being spotted rightly and being rectified.
- The sentence should have the plural form of 'friend' that is 'friends' as the sentence starts with 'one' and that actually means that from many of something or some there is one and that is naturally telling about the singular verb.
- In general, if a sentence contains 'friend', it tells about the singular form and if it contains 'friends' it tells about plural form, but here it is an exception as after friends we use a singular verb 'is'.
