From their website:
A student is an individual enrolled at a recognized degree-granting or certificate-granting educational institution for three (3) or more credit hours in a degree-granting or certificate granting education program or in a nine (9) month or longer certificate program, and upon request by Autodesk is able to provide proof of such enrollment.

I'm not from the US, but I'm pretty sure that excludes high school students.
It depends. I think you need a .edu email address for the free academic editions or be in a participating school and according the EULA in a degree or certificate granting college (i.e. not high school, although I've never heard of someone having to actually provide proof of being in college). I don't think that there are any requirements for the discounted versions on sites like Studica. Although considering with either of those licenses they can't be used commercially, torrents often come into play here.
I don't know about 3d max but Microsoft certainly counts high schools for its student discounts. High schools are accredited and can give certificates.
I wanna get 3ds max, but found out that there was a student discount. Does this apply to high school students or does this just mean college students?

They are quite useful with getting around licensing issues.
I believe you do need a college e-mail address to have a student license for Autodesk.
That's how I'm using 3DS Max.
What you need to do is get a friend who's parents work at a college and get it from him/her. That's what I did for Windows 7.
