Photoshop elements is a ';light'; version of Photoshop, aimed less towards professional users. It has a completely different user interface, but hosts many of the most important Photoshop tools.
So to sum it up:
Photoshop Elements - Light version, different UI
Photoshop - The normal Photoshop you probably have at school
(Photoshop Extended - A few extra specialist tools)
Also, remember that you can get student licenses for the programs at a reduced price. If you want to break the law, you could also download a full version of the web.

What's the difference between Photoshop and Photoshop Elements?
Photoshop Elements has many of the same great features that Photoshop has, including a large library of effects and filters. Photoshop Elements limits you to working within the RGB color mode (it doesn't do CMYK).
It is a great alternative at a much more affordable price. You can also try Photoshop Express, a ';kinda'; free online version of the program: https://www.photoshop.com/express/landin鈥?/a>
