Differs fron school to school but many have this type of setup, the 
router is the gateway it will be 10.xxx.xxx.1

They can have if you want them to or they can use a generic staff 
account.

There is such a utility designed by Stu Hasic from St george district, it 
is available on their web site. It simply exports the data as a tab
