I've heard that every native students say "Here" when the teacher calls their names to see if they are there attending the class.
I recall in an English class in my country "Present" was used instead of "Here". That was started by a student and there's no instruction from the teacher. So I'm wondering.. How does it sound like to native speakers? Is it also commonly used in English speaking countries?

I've heard both used. Neither would be surprising. I think "here" is used more often because it is shorter. "Yeah", "yup", and "yo" are also common in more informal settings.
