It is not unusual for sites to block access to/from certain countries if there are believed to be patterns of attempted attacks from their network address blocks. Yes, source addresses can be spoofed but if you geolocate addresses blocked by fail2ban etc. there are some definite patterns you can reveal that are rather consistent.
Schools also usually have very limited IT staff so they can tend to block more by default as a perceived safety measure.
