You hit the nail on the head with this one. High school hours are specifically set to end earlier than elementary and middle school hours. This is so that high schoolers can pick up their younger siblings and walk them home while parents are still at work.

Not the case in my school district. Our elementary schools get out before the high schools, and both middle and HS end at the same time.
