Hi,
I see that for kyouiku kanji, all the kanji are listed by grade. So I’m assuming this means that the students for example in grade 4 focus on the kanji in grade 4, maybe even tested on them, even though they probably learn other kanji too.
I see in Shirabe Jisho that the secondary school Kanji also have grades, but then Wikipedia lists them all with an S. Is there a list of graded secondary school kanji?
Thanks.

You mean the remaining joyo kanji? As far as I know they are part of a group of ~1000 kanjis graded as Junior High grade. I have never seen an official subgrading of these Junior High kanjis. Does Jisho grade it further?

Less relevant: they updated a part of those Kanji’s mainly around grade 4 to 5. [https://www.mext.go.jp/a_menu/shotou/new-cs/1383995.htm](https://www.mext.go.jp/a_menu/shotou/new-cs/1383995.htm)
Once you’re at secondary school, there is no official assignment as to what grade the kanji is to be learned.
If you want the source, [漢字の指導に関する中学校学習指導要領（平成20年3月文部科学省告示第28号） における取扱いについて（抜粋）](https://www.mext.go.jp/b_menu/shingi/chousa/shotou/076/shiryo/attach/1297683.htm) – yes it’s kinda old, but I don’t think this has changed. You can see that it only assigns the *approximate number* of kanji to be learned in that grade, not *which* kanji.
