In the 9th grade I was one of the two white kids or as we were called the "Haoles" It was pure hell and they had no tolerance of us.
In the 10th grade it was about 50-50 so the locals or "Mokes" were quite tolerant since they did not have a overwhelming majority. No problems.
In the 11th and 12th grade was the only school I ever attended more than one year. It was about 75% black but no real problems at all. Everyone knew me as the guy with the camera and they wanted their picture taken for the yearbook or the school newspaper. I wasted a lot of film and often did not even load film just to keep everyone happy.
I carried around a heavy old Hassleblad in high school.
