Is the American flag supposed to be flown higher than other flags?

This will all depend on which flag is flying alongside or below the American flag.
If being flown with flags of other nations, they should all be raised to the same height and are never to be flown on the same pole.
If being flown with a state, city or organizational flag, the US flag will fly above the other flag in a larger size. On most standard sized flagpoles, the American flag will be a 3'x5' flag and the other flag will be a 2'x3' flag.
If the US flag is flying along a different flag on separate flagpoles, the flags can be of equal height but the US flag will then need to fly on the extreme left of the other flags. This left side is known to be a prominent flag. When flown with flagpoles displaying non-national flags, the American flag will be raised first and lowered last.
