Very busy ! This is the time many students try to do the best they can so they can go to the college of choice. Many go to a "cram school " after school. Some go to school on Saturday...

They wear uniforms. Many high schools are all-boys or all-girls. But of course, many are co-ed. They study for college entrance exams. But only 50% of kids go to a college. So other 50% have different situation. Some private schools are affiliate high school of colleges. So those kids do not have to study for college exams. (Like, Keio University has Keio high schools (more than 1). So kids at Keio High Schools can go to Keio University without exams)
