Goodreads Best School Assigned Books

"I hated that I had to read it, but grateful that I read them when I did. They stick with you for years and it's fun to look back and see what public school thought every child should read." (Goodreads)
Are some of these books really assigned reading at school? Very 'progressive' if it's true.
