Is my school racist?

I think it is
You’ve provided no information or context of the actions here so it’s impossible to judge.
Most likely it's not and you're overly sensitive, didn't get your way and playing victim will help you cope.

I can only assume because you gave no back story.

What makes you think that they did this because of your race, ethnicity or religion?

Religion I am a Muslim and felt discriminated against because it's a Christian country

But what makes you think that the teacher looked at you weirdly for being Muslim specifically as opposed to anything else?

And have you reported the incident to the school?

By that logic any criticism you receive in a Christian country is racist.
NB. The behaviour you’ve described sounds like that of a teacher rather than a dyed in the wool racist.

It's because I tried to help her out but she just didn't want me to help her 😔 also no I was scared because everytime I would tell a teacher they would also ignore me

Yh but teachers have made me feel I'm not welcome at the school by shouting at me at little things that aren't big deals and they teacher other students better

Identifying racism can be hard at times, shouting a racial slur isn't the end it be it all of racism, and in the UK racism is more covert and done behind the backs of the victims. As for what you said that teachers make you feel you're not welcome, other students are treated better and the incident you had with that one teacher who believed the lie about you, with all these incidents accumulated you could very well be a victim of racism however you should talk about it with your parents and if you genuinely think teachers were racist towards you report it to the government here https://www.gov.uk/report-teacher-misconduct

In that case if you genuinely believe that the teacher is being racist then report the incident.

Have you done this (reported the incident)?
