Did the government high school get to collect your son’s allotment to the school while he was attending community college?

No...he never stepped foot inside a high school. When he finished 9th grade of homeschool, we went to the college (in our state it’s any state college, not only community colleges) and took the College Placement Test. He tested into College Algebra, but that summer we had him take an Intermediate Alg. class (just in case we’d missed something, LOL, during homeschool.) Than in the fall he started and went to the college classes for 10th, 11th, and 12th. Best part was, tuition for dual credit is free (if you’re in public school, books are also free...homeschooled or private schooled kids have to pay for their own books.) It became so popular among many kids, that now on one of the community college campuses, they actually have a “Collegiate High School” and if they attend that, then the school board can get the gubmint dollars.
