Most, if not all, of which can easily be attributed to perfectly mundane medical conditions. People aren't gonna automatically assume there must be a vampire around just 'cuz some guy suffers from frequent bouts of anemia. They're more likely to chalk it up to health problems instead.
Even if they noticed the bite marks, how many people are gonna think to themselves: "must be a vampire"? Not many, I can tell you that. People have been brought up thinking stuff like witches and vampires are all make-believe and superstition. If anyone tried to feed 'em a story about any of that, they'd either think they were joking, or tell them to get serious.

Again, if the public had seen anyone like that they wouldn't have to snoop around the school trying to find evidence, 'cuz they'd already have it.

And no doctor worth his salt is gonna diagnose his patient as being the victim of a vampire attack. Do you hear how that sounds? They're more likely to ask if they'd been bitten by some sort of animal.

They might have, but if they've never seen anything unusual that'd tip them off that they were looking at one, how would they know? They've spent the last few months attending classes with three of them and never suspected anything out of the ordinary about them.
If they saw Brooke, how would they know she was a cryptid when she usually looks
like this? Or if it was someone like Layla, or Laura, both of whom look entirely human. So long as Laura doesn't flare up, and Layla keeps her fangs in check, who's gonna know either one of 'em's a monster?

I'm speaking about neither the students from Artemis Academy, nor those from Apollo have noticed that they live in a town with hundreds of monster resident. The only explanation for they not noticing it, despite explicitly studing what to watch for, is comedic ineptitude...like Tiff walking on a Hekatean shrine and believing that is a school project, or neither Ash nor Faith noticing Brooke's and Layla's slitted pupils, despite having studied monster biology.
Tiffany's a ditz and she's trusting of anyone not named "Abbot". And the only time Layla's pupils are slitted, is when she vamps out. Otherwise, she looks
like this. So Faith can hardly be blamed
for not knowing she was escorting a vampire back to her house.

More like: because realistically, no one's gonna assume someone's a monster just 'cuz there's something a little off about them. Especially if there's a more reasonable explanation for it.
If someone's next door neighbor only went out at night, they're not gonna assume they're a vampire. They're more likely to think he works a night shift. Even there was something unusual about their eyes, or ears, they're more likely to think they're costume pieces, or contacts.
Most people are rational. They're not likely to entertain the idea that there could be monsters, 'cuz it sounds silly. No one's gonna take that sorta thing seriously, unless it was staring them in the face. And
even then, they still might not believe it.
