Enrolled in (a) high school and enrolled in (a) private high school?

I am often confused about when you need an article when you talk about schools. I am going to make up four similar examples.

(1) You are enrolled in a high school.

(2) You are enrolled in high school.

(3) You are enrolled in a private high school.

(4) You are enrolled in private high school.

I think if you are talking about an activity in a classroom, you would say (2). If you are referring to a specific school building, you need the article as in (3). I think (1) and (4) don't make sense.

What is your opinion? Thanks a lot.

Buildings and activities as you have defined them are not correct, I think. These are the differences:

If you are talking about a specific school (e.g. ABC High School), use the article.

If you are talking about the level or type of education, use no article.
