Without researching it, I would guess that long ago, a lot of people didn't get the opportunity to go past grade school, so the privileged ones went higher. My high school was on a huge hill, so I grew up thinking all high schools were high on a hill, therefore "high."

I'm going to treat this seriously, unlike some others. You have primary education (elementary school, some middle school {or junior high school}) that teaches you the basics of education like writing , basic math, etc. Historically, this is what most Americans had as a education. High School is so named because it teaches "higher" education---algebra, chemistry, biology, literature, etc. based on primary education foundations. Typically this prepares you for college. Unfortunately, nowadays most colleges have to teach high school subjects to bring students up to speed.

High school or secondary school is the name used for the last segment of compulsory secondary education
Using just the word "school" doesn't specify level of eduation or course of study. There are "finishing schools" for learning social graces, trade and vocational schools for learning the skills necessary for a career path.
