The Supreme Court ruled that segregation in education was unconstitutional and that the African-American students could attend the originally segregated white schools. While this ended de jure (legal) segregation, the Supreme Court didn't outline the method for desegregation until Brown II (Brown v. Board of Education, 349 US 294 (1955), the following year.
Because the Supreme Court lacks the authority to enforce its rulings, many school districts resisted integration. The federal government didn't enforce Brown I and II until it passed the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

They had segregated bathrooms, water fountains, restaurants, sections of buses and trains, houses, and schools. Blacks got a lesser quality of education then the Whites did. Whites got the highest possible. The Supreme Court wanted Blacks and Whites to be separate. So yes, the Supreme Court ruled that segregated public schools were unconstitutional.
