Or anything higher than 1024, I would think.

The Debian package runs the schooltool server process as user
'schooltool', not as 'root', for security reasons.  Non-root processes
cannot listen on network ports < 1024.

You can, however, have Apache listening on port 80 and forwarding the
requests to SchoolTool.  It is documented in SchoolTool's readme, the
section about virtual hosting.
