Part of the problem is that it's really hard for high schools to teach CS due to it being so expensive for them. It's expensive to hire qualified teachers and even harder to find them. I'm making http://codehs.com http://codehs.com to make it easy for any high school to offer a CS class, even if they don't have a qualified teacher. We made a class in a box that includes videos, in-browser exercises, student tracking tools, and teacher support from experts. A huge part of learning to code is getting help from others and reading other people's code. That is built in to our curriculum, so students read other students code (who are just a bit behind them in the curriculum) and give personal help to that student. This allows all students to get a push when they get stuck and really improve as a coder when they get feedback. The personal help makes CodeHS more valuable than just a tool like codecademy.
