Help me with it!
A: I see. So you didn’t graduate from high school?
C: No, and I wish I had.
Why the answer of this question is like this? I assumed It would be "I wish I did" Not "had"?

When you make a wish about the past, you use past perfect (had + past participle) because it is an unreal situation.
"I wish I had" is the short answer for "I wish I had graduated from high school."

Cause it is a rule. When we use wish sentences this is the past time anyway.
