I can only really talk about ones I've read, but these are some books that I would think worth of studying in a high school setting:
The City and The City - China Mieville
Tigana - Guy Gavriel Kay
Ender's Game - Orson Scott Card
The Moth Diaries - Rachel Klein (a YA book that really impressed me)
The Wasp Factory - Iain Banks (maybe for Year 12)
These are not necessarily my favourite books of all time, these are books that I can immediately think of that would sit well in a high-school English and/or English Literature curriculum.
