My son is basically skipping high school. We enrolled him at the local University as a non-degree seeking student. He is only taking 1 course at the high school and will "drop out" when he turns 16. He will then take the GED and reapply at the U as a degree seeking student. There should not be any problem; he took the ACT when he was 14 and scored well. As long as he gets a descent score on his GED he should be fine.

(PS: Jean LOVED the idea of sleeping in to go to a 10:30 college class twice a week (and get REAL credit!) rather than a five day 1 hour HS class ..... just to get a HS piece of paper that would (two years later) allow her to take the same college class.)

Even working hard in an AP high school class only permits you to take an AP test that might be good enough to let you get college credit for one or two semesters.

She says her college classes for real credit from a real prof. were easier than the HS AP classes anyway, since they weren't trying to teach "everything" that "might" be asked on the AP test. Much less pressure that way.
