You don't say what country this is in.
1984 is being read by children in England. I doubt it's a compulsory text, as that's not how the exam system works, but there are questions on the book in recent GCSE English exams so at worst it is one option out of a small number.
You can search "1984 GCSE English" to see this.
Possibly it's required or recommended for the younger age group (before the big exams), 12-14, as I see many references to dystopian texts when searching "1984 KS3 English".
