I think we read abridgments of certain episodes from The Odyssey a couple different years, but never the whole thing. AFAIK Shakesepeare's Big Four are rarely all covered in high school. Maybe one of them will be. Romeo and Juliet is much more popular, for whatever reason—I think it's considered easier, and maybe curriculum designers think kids will relate better to a story of young love. IIRC the only one of the Big Four we read in my high school was Macbeth, and I took all the extra English classes possible, starting in 7th grade.

I don't think Gilgamesh was covered at all. Yates, Maugham, Farmer, or Forster are certainly not commonly assigned in US high schools. Woolf, maybe, and if so, yeah, it'll probably be To the Lighthouse. Orwell, yes, but mainly for Animal Farm and maybe 1984, not his essays. I guess there might be some schools that assign C.S. Lewis, but I doubt it's common.
