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.

I would find out if your wISP is having the drop outs and slow downs or if it is your network having the problem before changing out anything. If you set up a directional antenna on your end that would definitely get you a better link to the wISP, but might not solve the problem.
