what about high school math/science? would kids be taught in Metric
measurements? Would most young people know how big a metre, or a kilogram
is?

I'm curious, has there ever been an attempt at going metric in the US?
e.g.
using Celsius? How do people feel about it?

I believe there was a half-hearted attempt to go metric in the '70's.
Other than for scientific purposes, I don't ever expect the United
States to officially adopt the metric system, although it would
definitely benefit from doing so.
