Weight lifting is not something that most health experts recommend for children. We had a weight room in my middle school but you really need close supervision for good form and to reduce injuries. That level of individual coaching is hard to get at public schools.

That's why they focus on cardio and team sports.

Even that kind of knowledge isn't something broached in the classes I took. I'm not even sure if the word 'reps' is more associated with lifting specifically or exercise in general!

It's associated with strength training. You could call bodyweight exercise reps, but usually we don't do sets and reps with things like pushups, situps, unweighted squats and chin ups. They're usually considered endurance exercises unless you're really heavy.
