Give all your fucks about things that matter, so you wont have any fucks left to give about things that don't. It's up to you to identify what matters in your high school.
Being intelligent is by far the most over rated characteristic for success. In fact, when young, it can hurt you by making you lazy, complacent, egotistical, or assuming you don't need help. "We get by with a little help from our friends."
Work smarter not harder, but work HARD to know what this over-used quote really means. There will be a distinct moment in your life when you realize what this actually means and why it is important.
Just because an opinion is popular doesn't mean it is correct. Go listen to "Make Your Own Kind Of Music" by Mama Cass.
The feeling of $100 to you now will honestly feel like $10 in about 4 years. So do not elevate your personal burn rate if you strike gold or get your first real paycheck. Put that shit in savings for when it really matters.
If you can perfect your "genuine radar" aka your ability to honestly say "Damn... this person right here is truly genuine", then you are miles ahead of most of the kids (yes, kids) around you. Also, you owe it to society to be a genuine person.
Work on your confidence. Confidence is self-consciousness' Kryptonite, and most high school decisions are rooted in self-consciousness. Making confident decisions in high school will make people respect you. High schoolers have only ever seen confidence in adults and, luckily for you, we are taught at a young age to respect adults. Demand some of that respect. "Look at me. I am the adult now."
Say hello to the cute girl. Say hello to the cute guy. If you've not mastered #7, here's a fair starting point that will help warm you up to it: Smile at people in grocery stores and warm up to the idea of sharing that simple, yet intimate moment (a smile). Once you feel confident smiling at strangers outside your school, take that confidence to the halls and smile at that girl or that guy. It's normal, and fuck them if they think that's weird because they don't know shit about #6, but you, sir or ma'am, you fucking do.

That's about it. Well, that's not all of it. But that's what I have for you here and now. PM me if you want to dive deeper.

Mostly comes down to confidence and kindness. Realizing that these people, after high school you're probably never going to see any of them again except maybe a couple close friends and at reunions. You think you will. But different jobs or colleges, relationships, moving away... You won't. So who cares what they think? Only worry about the people who are with you forever (or could be) like significant other and any family that truly cares for you. Don't be scared to screw something up. Don't worry about lying about stuff because nobody will think you're cooler because you told that one story that one time. Confidence, because you know it doesn't matter what people think, just be yourself.

And kindness because you shouldn't take 'don't worry what others think' to mean you can be a dick to people since you won't see them later in life. Be nice to people because the cool kid who is nice is loved by most. The cool kid who's a jerk is called a douche behind his back.

My approach? Make people laugh at me instead of using others to make fun. I don't care if I look silly or stupid as long as it's good heartedly making others have a great day or even just a moment. Too much of school fun is based on putting others down or making up stories of 'being bad' which may get you cool points but no respect.
