Given that the black girl was in the same classes as the white girl and supposedly had more AP classes, that doesn't seem to be the case either. More importantly, he didn't accuse the school of being segregated, he claimed the town was. For the town to be segregated, the school would have to have actual segregation either in a legal sense or through funny districting. Neither seems to be the case.

I respectfully disagree.

While yes, the black girl had classes with white students, lunch rooms, assemblies, and other activities that have students picking who they sit by can all lead up to and contribute to de facto segregation.

Things like ses, housing locations, etc, can set up de facto segregation that effects the whole town.

Based off of the information given, we really don't know what it's like there
