Are you sure of this? It sounds pretty strange. Port 25 frequently is blocked (since some service providers consider it abused by spammers and make an overkill move of completely blocking it except to their own news server). But for your school to block all other ports from the school would imply that you couldn't even access a website (port 80 as well as several other ports). In fact, about the only thing you could do with your network would be to send out lots of e-mail. I rather suspect that other ports are open, and if that's the case then there are lots of ways you could deal with this. Even if only 80 were also open, many brands of routers will let you manage them remotely, and while they usually default to port 8080, you should be able to move the management of the router to port 80 if you really have to.
