Maybe, but only if it was taught in sequence with a high level course. From my experience, you need both. While it is incredibly useful to learn about the low level stuff, you want be able to hold on to students as easily if it takes you a week to teach them how to do "Hello, World." Just going off how my knowledge has gone, I would say a sequence of High Level OO language->Low level language-> High Level Language-> Functional Language, although that is more of a college level course sequence, not for high school courses.
