In my opinion, you should store in FileSystem because when you need to store images having high resolutions, then the byte data you will store in Database would unnecessarily make it overloaded.
Also reading and writing images into Database is time consuming, which will make your application slow.

If you store in FileSystem, you will have the better control over it. You can go for compression algorithms, if you require. But as far as your School Management System is concerned, you may not require that.

So, go for FileSystem. It would be better than Database. :)

Or a hybrid approach for fast retrieval. Store the name/path of the image so you can relate it to other data, but put the actual file itself in the file system. +5

Thanks Ron. :) Oh yes, that is indeed a great idea.
