Most of them are good, accessible books which is why theyre taught in highschool. They have enough for the smart kids to think about and analyze, but their premise and prose is simple and engaging enough to appeal to most kids.
If you believe that a book is not good because a highschooler can understand it, youre reading out of vanity, not genuine desire to learn/improve/entertain yourself

My score: 8.5. I once owned a copy of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas as a child, but I only got about halfway through. I became so bored with what I was reading that I simply stopped. I wasn't feeling any sort of emotion with regard to the prose style or plot. I was simply bored. So, I quit.
It's difficult to receive a diploma from a decent American high school without having read at least two or three of these, OP.

OP literally called them high school–core in his single sentence OP
