scores = s.read()
scores = int(scores)

if score > (scores):
    highscore = score
    print("NEW HIGH SCORE")

    s = open("highscore.txt", 'a')
    s.write(str(highscore))
    s.write("\n")
    s.close()

The most straight forward way I think would be to open a second high score file in which you first write the new score, and then the contents of the old high score file.

Then remove the old file and rename the new one.
