schoolfriends
Fellow student pals
Schoolfriends are friends made during one's school years—elementary through university.
The term often carries nostalgic weight, distinguishing these relationships from those formed later in life: I still keep in touch with a few schoolfriends.
The single-word spelling emphasizes the compound as a distinct category of friendship.
Also spelled as two words.
