Yes. Probably. I just gave my best shot at giving some "constructive" advice instead of my usual "destructive" advice.

little dave is on a wISP and I think he said his ISP's antenna is a good distance away. He has some slow down when the traffic is heavy, but other than that it's good. I just figured if they came and looked at their antenna and gave it the "ok" then the OP can at least look into what the real problem is instead of throwing school money out the window.

Thinking back on my RF days, if the wISP is pushing a good amount of power and the receiver in the school isn't properly shielded than they could be getting some interference from the "front-end".

If I had any experience with wISP's I guess I could be more help. How much "power" does a wISP push anyways? I would figure that the ISP's antenna would be at an excellent position being only 100 yards away.
