I think high school history classes (and civics) have gone the way of the dodo bird. I'm not exactly sure why, but my sister was a teacher, and her daughter is a teacher (middle school) and they think schools have gradually removed anything past the civil war because it was seen as too political--the principals were constantly hearing from parents about how the teachers were injecting bias into the courses.
