Mexican Whiteboy by Matt de la Pena.

The story takes place in the summer so the boy doesn’t actually go to the
school, but it is referenced and is a part of the character’s storyline.

Lucy and Linh by Alice Pung is a good one. It's set in Australia, about the
daughter of Chinese immigrants who gets into an exclusive private school, and
all the social tension that comes with it.
