First, the Canada/U.S. border is over 3,000 miles long ... are you asking in regards to the entire border, or a certain portion of it?
Second, the customs officers are all trained the same, to ask the same questions, look for the same things, and follow the same regulations and laws. However, rookie officers tend to be more "by the letter of the law" and thus, large border stations that train a lot of new officers may have a reputation for being tougher.
Third, a drivers license and a school I.D. are NOT proof of citizenship, which is what you need to enter or re-enter the U.S. A birth certificate showing you were born in the U.S., a valid Visa, a U.S. Passport, or a certificate of permanent Residency (green card) would be required to prove citizenship/legal residency.
Fourth ... you seem unduly concerned about re-entering the U.s. and whether or not you will be allowed to. This leads me to believe that you may not be a citizen or legal resident of the U.S. If this is the case, your nervousness and concern may be evident, and may cause the customs officials to look closer into your documentation. If it is NOT the case, then I highly recommend getting hold of your birth certificate or other documentation and having it with you when you cross.

A drivers license proves NOTHING about your citizenship. Why are you worried about ICE?

Are you a terrorist?
Why would you care unless you are up to something illegal.
