I can't really come up with a concise interpretation of this usage. I read ようで
as both a situation summarization and a cause indicator all in one, but it
feels clumsy.

The 4th sentence, for example, has much more of a "because feeling" in it than
the first one. The 2nd and 3rd sentence feels like it's more in the middle in
terms of cause.

(since) i'm not good with just looking at the board and taking notes,
naturally i have more physically active practical classes.

vs

But applying a hierarchy among the students, that sort of custom...(stuck
between a rock and hard place)

clause ending ようで clarification
ようで just the continuative form of ようだ, which expresses similarity to something
else. You can understand all your examples in this way.

> でも生徒同士で序列をつける **ようで** 、こうした風習もどうもね……

But the students have made something which **appears to be** a ranking...

> 手はまったく届かなかったが願いは届いたようで、謎の生命体は翼をはためかせてメアの頭に着地した

Although my(?) hand was completely unable to reach them, my(?) wish **appeared
to** have reached them...

> あいつの意見が正しかったことだけは認めざるを得ない **ようで** 、亮二もそれ以上食って掛かりはしなかった。

It **appears** 亮二 has no choice but to acknowledge that あいつ's opinion was
correct...

> 俺もノートに向かい続ける授業は苦手な **ようで** 、自然に体を動かす実技授業が多くなった

I also **appear to be** bad with classes where you always look at your
notes...
