It would be useful to:
- see some of the things you've tried
- what their output actually was
- what output you actually want to achieve

I think you're confusing output (print) with your data (the list of 
grades).

Is the code above genuinely what you're running?

I ask because it looks to me that you're:
- appending all the individual grade fields (school, name, ...) to one 
   long grades list containing all the data from all the students
- you're printing that single enormous list in one go at the end

What I'm imagine you want is one line of grade information per student.

Remember that indentation is important in Python. You're grades code 
looks like this:

     grades = []
     for s in students:
                     grades.append(s.school)
                     grades.append(s.name)
                     grades.append(s.finalGrade())
                     if s.finalGrade()>82:
                             grades.append("Pass")
                     else:
                             grades.append("Fail")
     print(grades)

This:
- makes an empty list
- gathers up all of the student data
- prints the data in one go

I think you may want to do the first and last steps on a per student 
basis, not just once at the start and the end. So you might want to 
rearrange things:

     for s in students:
                     grades = []
                     grades.append(s.school)
                     grades.append(s.name)
                     grades.append(s.finalGrade())
                     if s.finalGrade()>82:
                             grades.append("Pass")
                     else:
                             grades.append("Fail")
                     print(grades)
