I heard that in Japan, upper secondary school, or high school, is only constituted of grades 10-12, so I was just wondering if those terms are used. Like, would a Japanese student in 12th grade be considered a senior? Sorry if this sounds dumb, but I know what applies in the U.S. doesn't always apply in other countries...

they probably use the terms, however it might not be the norm. they might just use the number instead.

Um, you know they don't use English there, right? Senior シニア Junior ジュニア Sophomore 2年生 (just means 2nd year of secondary) Freshman フレッシュマン This only applies to High school, not University

No, they don't have terms. And instead of 10th,11th, and 12th, they use 1st, 2nd, and 3rd. That applies to junior high, high school, and college. So..... you would say "so and so is a 1st grade high school student" hope it helped lol :)
