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.

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.

Do phonics work? How does a native speaker know the words?
Yes, but don't expect it to be that significant. Part 1: As applied to English, “phonics” refers to associating spelling patterns with pronunciation. For the most part, this is indeed how native speakers learn to read and write English.
