To say that a place is far from school, you can use the phrase "a long way from school". For example:

"My house is a long way from school. It takes me an hour to get there by bus."

Alternatively, you could say "far from school" or "a distance from school". For example:

"My house is far from school. I have to take two buses to get there."

"My house is a good distance from school. I usually ride my bike to get there."

These phrases all convey the idea that the place in question is not close to the school.
