I think that's a N American thing, my high school back in the UK was regularly top 5 in London soccer and I doubt we knew who was on the team, no one gave a tinkers.
I suppose the fact that schools weren't in any way part of the Professional scouting area helped, the teams had already pulled their recruits into academies prior to high school, and there was no collage level above either, you were just a good soccer player at high school but it meant nothing more than that.
