@kmaya13, In Japanese she can read hiragana and katakana (Japanese phonetic alphabets so to speak) at a high high school level, but she has not learned Kanji (Japanese picture writing so to speak) at an equivalent level yet. She has only learned about 1000 of the 2000 required Kanji that most native Japanese learn by high school graduation. Though as someone mentioned earlier, many native Japanese are no longer learning Kanji to the basic high school levels anymore. She has exhausted the offerings in Japanese at her current school.
