In the US it varies by state and even city, but they did not teach calculus in high school in Philadelphia at least. Students could chose whether to take statistics or pre-calculus. Pre-calc was just basically trigonometry.

You learn something new every day.

Here in Finland the students are divided into "long" and "short" math. Both will learn basics of calculus and derivatives at least.
