Yes. Some of my cousins got a lot done and saved serious money doing so. Wish the program had been around when I was in high school. Then again I would have done anything as an alternative to high school.

Jean (now 27) started taking honors Spanish, math and English in middle school. With those, she got some limited HS credits when she began at East Paulding HS while St Ronnie was teaching AP Chemistry, physics, chemistry etc. So, Jean immediately loaded up with sophomore and junior HS classes and as many AP classes as she could find time for.
Then Jean, being the lovely and astute girl that she is - but hating to work any harder than she absolutely has to AND really, really hating to wake up early in the morning - found out about dual enrollment between the local HS and Southern Tech University. She wasted no time getting into the college - figuring that
(a) she could get the same credit HS credit for the same price as she could take college classes
(b) she could take one college class (in English for example) two days a week for 1-1/2 hours as she could take 5 days of HS classes
(c) she could sleep in until 10:30 while taking that same college class two days a week
(d) she could tell us that she “needed” an immediate drivers license and car so she could drive to class at college (and do after school work and after-school meetings, and go to the library, and go to her job, and still get to the HS plays (she was stage manager at the time) instead of taking the school bus five days a week
(e) she could actually take and easily get credit for college classes by taking college classes instead of “maybe” getting AP credit after taking 5 days a week of AP chemistry physics, physics II, chemistry II, biology, English, etc AND all those all-day AP credit classes
... So she quit HS after two years and went to college at at 16
graduated from college at 18 with a BS in Physics and a BS in Mathematics
was the youngest ever Southern Tech graduate at 18
