If the flag is in a group of flags (on separate poles) it should be in the center and higher up than the rest of the flags.
If it's on it's own pole it should be above the rest of the flags and at least the same size as any other flags on it's pole, if not larger.

∙ 11y agoThe US flag is always properly displayed with the blue field in the upper left corner to the viewer. On a flagpole, at the very top. In a parade (with other flags) it is always FIRST in line, to the LEFT of the viewer. On a casket of a deceased veteran, the field is over the LEFT shoulder of the veteran.

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. There is a link below.
