What if (hear me out) the high school kids can go to bed earlier if they're sleep deprived? Waking up at a certain time is really only half the equation. The school isn't making you stay up and get up early.

Going to bed earlier isn't an effective solution for many kids. Around 1 in 6 adolescents find it difficult to fall asleep before 11:00 PM.

In adolescence, up to 16% of teenagers experience a sleep phase delay. Due to this circadian shift , their melatonin levels don’t begin to rise until later in the evening. As a result, they naturally feel more alert at night, making it harder for them to fall asleep before 11:00 p.m.

Well considering that public schools (at least in the US) are glorified daycares in place so both parents can go work, the obvious solution is to globally push back the concept of "morning" to mean 'a few hours after the sun rises'.
