Now, I don't know what the original poster thinks about Japanese high school or not, but I would say that you see a lot more Japanese kids in American high schools than the other way around.

I spoke to one girl from Australia a couple years back who was doing a one-year exchange at a high school in Japan. She was the only non-Japanese and at the school, and it was an English-track school...so she gets to be the test person for everyone.

She said the first few months were hell, but then she got used to it. Naturally her Japanese improved dramatically.
