I tried turning off 2.4, but then users couldn't get on the wifi, so i had to turn it back on. So that idea didn't work out.

I'm assuming that density can also be a concern here. I definitely have places that I would not want to turn off 2.4 due to poor coverage - i.e. 2.4 has better range that I need in some places and I have so many places to monitor that it would be difficult to see where I could turn it off. If there's an easy-ish way to tell where I don't need 2.4, please let me know.

the mirroring is intermittent

Hi Laura, as mentioned you will need to ensure that all your clients is capable of 5ghz before disabling the 2.4Ghz.
Is the mirror not working at all or is in intermittent?
If the teachers can not find the mirror device you might be blocking the bonjour protocol on the AP.
Also note that bonjour does not function across a layer 3 enviroment.
You will need to isolate all the bonjour traffic in a Vlan to discover the Mirror device.
You can find detailed guides for this setup on the Hub or extreme support page.
