school friend
Hallway locker buddy
A school friend is someone you know from school—a friendship formed through shared classes, activities, or simply attending the same institution.
The term often implies a relationship bounded by that context: We were school friends, but lost touch after graduation.
It may suggest a less intimate bond than close friend, or simply specify how you met.
