I think Germany is hard to generalize because we have 3 school systems that all teach English on a different level - and then you have the choice to take advanced English (Englisch LK) in Gymnasium. Most people from Hauptschule probably won't retain a good English since they learned it for a shorter period of time and on a lower level than someone from Gymnasium who may have even had English LK.
