As such, I need information regarding how wide-spread PHP is (i.e., number of installations), who's using it (i.e., companies, organizations), and how it compares with other Web Languages (i.e., ASP, Ruby, etc.). Since it's a school, you might also want to point out Moodle http://moodle.org/ is another example of PHP based, open source software that is used by many educational institutions throughout Canada and Australia (I'd assume the rest of the world as well).

By my own completely unscientific research and experience - it's very strange to come upon a URL that ends with .aspx or .jsp. Considering that Linux (and its variants) powers the overwhelming majority of the Internet's web servers - it seems fair to conclude that PHP would be the most accessible web language there is. Best of luck breaking through the education bubble.
