That her school days were hellishly awful is 100% pure fanon, based on nothing but the fact that fans want everything as dark and angsty as possible.
Even _before_ Amending Fences took us inside her school days, we knew she went to Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns. _Gifted,_ as in _everyone was smart and good at magic just like her._ As such, there is no reason to believe that for being smart and good at magic everyone treated her like shit every day. None at all.
