In the German system high school is supposed to provide the whole liberal arts base layer, since you don't have to take general knowledge courses in university but specialize into your major right away with 18.
So in high school we read a lot of excerpts from various philosophers but mostly they were short. Marx wasn't the worst to read (Kant really liked his sentences too long), but still hard going.
We actually covered Marx a lot in high school, because his framing permeated so widely. So we were explained Marxist theories several times over the years at increasing levels of difficulty before we read any original sources. BTW this wasn't in Eastern Germany, and we covered classical economist like Adam Smith too, as well as more modern ones like Keynes. So it wasn't dome socialist indoctrination thing.
