American Pie is essentially a recent version of the Porky's franchise. These movies have been around for many years and will be around for many more. It's not the setting, it's the character arc. Rebel Without a Cause, Dead Poets Society, Rushmore, Napolean Dynamite, and nearly all John Hughes Films are all "high school movies". There will be many, many more that are interesting because the story is interesting.

Saying "high school movies time has come and gone" is literally like saying "movies about the workplace" have come and gone.
