Some may be uncomfortable with the protagonist lying to their parents about getting into a college, his lie incudes making a fake website for the fictional college, renovating a building to look like a college, hiring someone to pretend to be the college Dean etc

Bartleby implies that his mother is actually going to get drunk when she says she’s going to check on the cobbler. Then at the graduation party she chugs a glass of champagne to cope with the embarrassment of her son not getting into a college.

The main character mentions sexual assault a few times.
Early in the movie, he says something like “I got the school bully kicked out for two years because I said he sexually harassed me. When he pushed me up against the locker I told the principal I felt something”
Later he is talking to the antagonist about being rejected (in the conversation he personifies “rejection” as “her”) and says
“You can’t give her roofies so you wouldn’t like her”

A character has clearly been beat up, and he talks about it happening. We don’t see the torture but he says something like “they beat me up until I told them everything. They stole all my stuff too”

Yes. A character goes by the initials A.D.D. and says he has Attention Deficit Disorder. He says his mom used to cry because she thought he would never be like a fully functioning member of society like his neighbor with Legionnaires' disease. When the characters meet him their first impression of him is that he's looking for a mental health facility. He clarifies that he's there because South Harmon is the only college that accepted him. His behaviors like frantic outbursts and hyperactivity are played up for laughs. Overall it gives off the vibe that people with disorders aren't cut out for "real" college.

The r-slur. A rich character is implicitly racist and antisemitic but doesn’t display these behaviors onscreen.
