Height — level of esteem (7)

I believe the answer is:

stature

(Other definitions for stature that I've seen before include "Treat us (anag)" , "Body height or high reputation" , "High level of respect" , "Height - level of esteem" , "Importance, reputation" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
