I am no expert at this and may be talking out of my bum, but having set mine up recently, it may help.
Seeing as you can ping websites it could be totally irrelevant.
However, you may need to set up a profile using the wireless software on the laptop, that monitors the connection when you are at the school.
You will have to add things such as the name of your home network, the channel it's using and encryption mode, if you have it set that way.
When this is done, you select which profile you need depending on location, to connect to the different wireless networks.
Good luck.
