I'll second his recommendation, and add a few others:
  • Estes Citation Patriot
  • Estes Der Big Red Max
  • Estes Blue Bird Zero
  • Semroc Goliath
  • Semroc Vega
  • Semroc Hydra-One

Larger-body designs tend to work well, and when combined with either several 2" x 20" streamers, or a standard 12" parachute, should recover well inside a moderately-sized schoolyard.
