In high school at least when I was in it people seemed to make it a contest to prove who did less work. If you want to succeed give it your all regardless of what others say. Make clear goals, and go after them. Ultimately it comes down to your attitude towards the whole thing.

Some practical advice:

-What I would say the best advice is ask for help from students, or teachers.

-If you don't understand something in class, ask for help. If you can't get it answered in class set up tutoring if the school provides it.

-Cut out a bit of time to do school work, but also study material that was gone over in class.

It may not be easy, but if you want it you have to put in work.
