Anti-Malware/Ransomware for small private school

I work at a small private school.  We use Windows Defender as our only protection inside our hardware firewall.  We are starting to see some breaches although not enough to justify a big expenditure for a enterprise anti-malware/ransomware budget item.  I understand the adage that "you get what you pay for" but I am wondering if there are recommendations for a free or low-cost solution for an institution such as ours that might filter out the malware and ransomware threats.

Thanks in advance for your recommendations!

What about threats embedded in game sites for instance?  We have had the Chromium browser installed on some of our machines due to unauthorized game sites kids went to.  Also, our admin assistant gets some malware threats almost daily now that we have installed a trial version of Malwarebytes.

Very, very helpful!  Thank you all!
@Bob
Just a reminder about how the pointing system works: you can distribute points automatically, as you did, or you can use advanced options, where you can set who gets how many. The way you did it, you gave half of the points to one experts and 1/12 of the points to each of the rest, which, given that many good suggestions were made, looks weird.
