Usually, high school age experience is used for demonstrating foreign language knowledge. That is useful information to have displayed.
I've always been advised to include a very short (max two lines) biography at the top of the resume underneath the contact information and ipurpose statement. Besides nationality, it contains relevant immigration/work permit status and brief background information.
True that US applicants rarely list high school information, but European secondary education tends to be more "relevant" and less general, so there may be skills presentable that might be of interest (at least for a younger applicant). But it has be presented properly and parsimoniously... and if one uses terms like "Advanced Placement" it has to be clear this is merely an equivalent for purposes of clarity, not the actual thing stated.
