You should petition your school board as I did to define class standing by credits accrued instead of semesters attended to define class standing. I had two primary motivations for doing the petition. First, I wanted to graduate a year early and get on with my degree at UCSD. Second, I wanted to enjoy actually being a "senior" with the class activities. The latter objective didn't turn out as good as hoped. I was working at Farrell's Ice Cream Parlour during my senior year and the money I earned to pay for many senior activities was wasted as my work schedule conflicted with the activities. I was even denied participation in the PSA "Flight of the Eagles" as an Eagle Scout in 1972. I washed dishes while others enjoyed the activity. My boss loved to tout having Eagle Scouts on his staff, but was pretty abusive. Water over the dam.
