No, they weren't at school together.  Tom and Hagrid were in school "fifty
years ago", according to Draco about when the Chamber was first opened. 
(It doesn't necessarily have to be *exactly* fifty, but I think we can
assume the 45-55 years range.)  James was in school at the same time as
Snape, according to Dumbledore, since they were rivals the same way Harry
and Draco are.  JKR said in an interview that Snape was 35.  So, he and
James could not have been in school 50 years ago with Tom and Hagrid. :)
