Our school system allows some HS credits in 8th grade. So my daughter took a math, I think algebra and a science - Physical Science. So when she got to HS she had 2 credits. My school district operated on a 4x4 at the time - only 4 classes a day, but each class was an 1 1/2. You ended up getting more credits than you needed to graduate. She didn't really like Science but was in AP classes. I think she just took Chem in HS. Took Trig - maybe calculus as her highest math. She dual enrolled for 9 credit hours at the community college during her Senior Year. Had I known a little more about dual enrollment, we would have done that earlier, as that was completely free - books and classes. They give you a college placement test, as long as you score a certain score, you are eligible, you have to be 16 I think. She had 2 kids in her graduating class get their AA degree while in HS free of charge. I don't know if we could have gone that route, she did cheer lol but she could have gotten a few more credits if we started earlier.
