Shakespeare's plays contain many allusions to the standard textbooks used in grammar schools like the King's School in Stratford. According to Ben Jonson he had "small Latin and less Greek" which is more than the "no Latin or Greek" he would have had if he had never been to school.

You could even attend it if you are a boy of the right age and you pass the entrance exam.

Did William Shakespeare get bullied at school?

We have no evidence at all about Shakespeare's school life. The school records have been utterly destroyed. Nobody at the time thought it was important to record anything about John Shakespeare's son. We only guess that he went to the King's New School in Stratford because he appears to have had a grammar school education, and that was the only grammar school in Stratford.
