Metric is taught and high school and college all over the US afaik. In my college we pretty much never used anything but metric. Mainly where metric isn’t used is certain industries that refuse to get with the times, like construction and aerospace, and among older folks who weren’t taught metric.

I work in aerospace and the main reason we don't switch to metric is because all the rivets, sheet metal, and measurement tools are in English units.
Edit: And all the blueprints are in English units. I mostly work on aircraft that were designed in the '70s.
