American High School is obviously different.
The SPOC test which is used to get a rough guide to reading level, is based on the number of words in any 300-400 words of text, which have two or more syllables. It's used in both America and England. That is not to say no book which SPOCs at level 2-3 is ever read in high school, but it won't be the norm.
