Why don't American high schools teach phonics? Because if you have not learned to read by high school, you probably cannot learn to read using phonics. Contrary to many bloggers and rumor-mongers, phonics was and is still the main way reading is taught in America.

Another reason that phonics aren't taught in high school is that English is not a terribly phonetic language. If you've never seen it, look up the “I love Lucy” scene involving Ricky reading a story that uses almost every way that “ough” can be pronounced: through, though, bough, enough, etc.
