If students on room 1 should use only the AP in room 1, then you should have different SSID for each room.
That's contrary to good practice, unless there's some reason to keep the traffic for a room isolated. It's more likely the students are using the same resources, no matter which class they're in.
Otherwise, who cares to which AP they connect? The computers will connect to the best one they can find.
The guy hiding in a back corner of a class might get a better signal from another AP than the one in his room. WiFi is designed for roaming among APs. It's the responsibility of the device to switch when necessary for a better signal. This is different from the cell phone network, where the network tells a phone to check other signals and move if necessary.
A lot of wireless routers support multiple SSIDs. Maybe adding a generic school wide SSID to each router would make sense? Greg -- Sent from my Android device with K-9 Mail.
