Are these all natural?

Hi there.

I made up some sentences with different structures.
Are these all natural?

(1) He teaches at a high school.
(2) He is an English teacher at a high school.
(3) He teaches English at a high school.
(4) He teaches students English at a high school.
(5) He teaches students to speak English at a high school.

Thanks in advance!

I'd replace "at" with "in" in all cases for being more natural.

Thanks, but that's surprising.
Let me ask you this then. If I add "in New York" at the end of each sentence, do you still think that "in a high school in New York" is better than at a high school in New York"?

"In a high school" is more used than "at a high school".

No. In that context I'd use "at a high school in New York".
PS: "at"
