My question is, given the radiation pattern of an omni antenna and the schools relatively short distance from the water tower, do you think I could replace the school's omni antenna with something like a panel antenna pointed at the water tower and that would help? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Best idea would be 2 directionals..... if you can get some really fine beam ones and aim them at each other. this way you get the best reception.
