A completely standard informal American and Filipino term for a high school student — simple, clean, and universally understood wherever American-style English is spoken. Unlike some school-age slang, 'high schooler' isn't loaded with any particular social baggage; it just describes someone currently attending high school. It's the kind of word that shows up in casual conversation, journalism, and social media posts with zero fanfare.
As a high schooler, she spent most of her weekends at soccer practice or studying for the SATs.
