In my school district (and I've heard this to be true in others as well), it was an issue of not having enough buses. So they have to stagger the start times for high school, middle school, and elementary so that they have enough buses and drivers to transport all the students.
I have read studies that indicate high school students need to start later, but most districts choose to start early anyway.
