So since school is out I’ve switched my runs to about 7:00-7:30 am. I feel great during the run and illl ride my runners high for about 2-3 hour after my run. It makes me feel slightly sluggish after that but when I run in the afternoon it’s too hot and I’m tired from the day. Are morning runs or afternoon runs more beneficial?

Yes.

Do both.
I'm not sure what you mean by "beneficial." In terms of your mental health? Your planning? Your training?
I run in the morning ~90% of the time (daily alarm set for 5:35a), but will squeeze in an afternoon run if something comes up in the AM. I much prefer the days that begin with a run, but that's just me.
I work with a guy who hates to run in the morning, so for him to hit the pavement at 5:45a would not be beneficial. Whereas for me it is.
Just run when it feels the best for you. If you're a morning person, go for it. If you're an afternoon person, go for it.
The only thing not beneficial is not running.
