Let's set this straight, nobody bullies you because you are successful, ok? They don't talk stuff about you in english because you get bad grades. It is the same thing with saying "nice guys finish last" and saying you can never get a girl because girls love jerks, which is not in any way the case. Maybe you cant get a girl because you smell like stuff, are socially handicapped and look like an assrack. No, you are using your success as a scapegoat to ignore the actual reasons people don't like you and by doing so will never change or become a likable person.
Now that I got that off my chest, bullying is basically non-existant here, at least I don't see it, I mean apart from seniors/juniors (our classes are combined) I only hang out with or pay attention to a tiny handful of 9-10 graders, and the rest go unnoticed.
