Is there a high court and district court in each state in America?
Yes and no. There is, necessarily, a high court in every state (e.g., the California Supreme Court). These courts hear appeals from the state trial courts, which are sometimes called "district courts" depending on the state (for example, in Washington state, the county district courts have exclusive jurisdiction over small claims and infractions). Usually, however, the term "district court" is used to mean the United States District Courts. The U.S. District Courts are federal courts (not state courts), and there is one in every state and territory, but that is a measure of jurisdiction only, and the state geographical boundaries are by no means necessary. The U.S. District Courts are the federal trial courts and cases are appealed to the U.S. Circuit Courts (U.S. Courts of Appeals) and the United States Supreme Court.

For state courts, the difference between a district court and a circuit court will depend on what state the courts are in. Many states have courts called "district court" and "circuit court," but what kinds of cases these courts handle differs state to state.
