My middle school had some bullying, though much less once one of the queen bees took a stand against it. (I seriously am indebted to that girl.) I didn't have friends really in middle school, though some of that may have been my spectrum-y tendencies showing up in ways that made it harder to make friends at that time, coupled with a whole lot of not having that kind of option of friend open to me. (Most of the kids were nice but not particularly interested in the kind of thing I was interested in, and vice versa.)
My second (magnet) high school was ~250 per class, and I think there were a number of social groups as you describe, though I was only aware of a couple of them.
