It couldn't be otherwise... Chinese translation!
What does the following mean? I know the meaning of the characters separatedly, but they don't conform any logical signification for me put together thus:
她念高三。
So... She studies high/tall three? What on earth is that supposed to say? That she is in third course? Is 高 related at all with 年级??
I'm in your hands...
谢谢!

As you know, I don't know squat abourt Chinese, but looking at 高 and the reference to her studies (which sounds plausible to me), I couldn't help but think of 高校, which is senior high school (at least in Japanese).
她 this one I couldn't find in my search engine or in my paper kanji dictionary, so I guess it's only used in Chinese.

No BD, I don't think 她 is part of Japanese vocabulary. I searched several Kanji dictionaries online but found no entry. In fact one dictionary dissolved the kanji back to the unicode. By now I am emperially positive that 她 as female third person singular is not a Japanese usage.
If it was used in different sense before 1700s or so, 大漢和辞典 by 諸橋徹次 may have recorded it. Alas, I have time to go to the library to check this.
