Really depends on the school, luckily the public high school I attended was high ranking and it was in sort of a company town. Despite that, I recall one week in 9th grade when two upper-class football players tried to shake me down for lunch money several days in a row. Since I played dumb and told them that I brought my lunch (a lie) they lost interest after a few days. I didn't report it, and I'd been exposed to enough stuff in middle school that I didn't dwell on it.
