Your sentence is not incorrect, but I would be more inclined to say, "I share good rapport with my classmates." Rapport is an abstract noun, and as such, it doesn't traditionally need an article (since it isn't one concrete thing). Another example of such a word is "love"; we wouldn't say, "I feel *a* love for my child," but rather, "I feel love for my child."

I would say "I HAVE a good rapport with my classmates..."
on the other hand the definition of rapport is: A relation, especially one characterized by sympathetic understanding, emotional affinity, or mutual trust.
Therefore, I'm not sure why she would say this is wrong. I actually think you used rapport correctly. If not, your teacher is being extremely picky - don't take this little bit of wisdom away with you when you leave.

I would say, "I have good rapport with my classmates". This is simple, to the point, and grammatically correct.

'My classmates and I share a good rapport' would be better, but there is nothing wrong with what you wrote in terms of current (modern) usage.
