Perhaps try forwarding an additional, different port than the default minecraft. Usually home NAT devices allow you to port-forward WAN port X to LAN port Y, where X is different to Y. Some ports will most likely be blocked by your ISP, but perhaps some will work. Try to set up an additional forwarding from port 80 (WAN), from port 443 and from port 1025, each to port 25565 (LAN). Let your remote friend verify that those ports work for them, then try again from school.
No the console never printed anything, revealing that it was never receiving the packet from my school. However, I managed to get myself a public domain, and then my school could now see the ip. This I find interesting, perhaps my school has a filter where it will only see servers hosted by a public domain.
I just checked it now from my school and it now connects correctly.
