    Do you have a list of requirements and/or business rules that you used to construct your tables and relationships?
    It is the business rules that you represent with relationships among/between tables. Without business rules or requirements, one can only guess at whether or not your model represents the business adequately.

    you basically ONLY need relationships on Parent & child tables.
    like parent t.Student
    child: t.ClassesEntrolled

    reference tables dont really need it.

    None of your Relationships are correct.
    You should Enforce Referential Integrity between related tables.

    Here is a student roster data model from Barry Williams' site (no longer online). It may give you some insight on tables and relationships. The model identifies entities/attributes and relationships in a typical :StudentClassesTeachersAttendance scenario.
    It should give a good starting point and can be appended to, edited... as your needs dictate.
