But of course!  However, I never really use spreadsheets, and am not very
familiar with OOCalc.  Although, I did fire it up, throw some random
data in it, and found the menu item:

  Insert -> Chart

that seems to insert a chart, graph, etc.  I hope that helps!

Indeed!  Especially if the school can just give away copies of the software.
(The cost of producing 50 discs containing OOo is practically nil compared
to purchasing even ONE copy of Microsoft Office!)
