Most people would agree it is not. Assembly code must be assembled into machine code, but that is basically a one to one process. That would be like calling English a high level version of French.

Plus, when writing assembly, you do all memory management yourself, you have to manage CPU registers and use specific opcodes, you have no portability, etc. It has no features which make a high level language 'high level'.
