Scientifically speaking, why are most anime set in a high school setting?

And even if they arent in high school, they will generally still be teenagers. And this is the case even if the teenagers are performing roles you would expect of a an adult. For example, in Code Geass, Lelouch is the leader of a paramilitary terrorist organization even though he is only in high school. The same goes with Kaiba in Yu-Gi-Oh. Who is a CEO of a multi billion dollar company even though he is still in high school. Scientifically speaking, what is the reason for this?
