How hard is it to graduate a semester early in high school?

Not hard from public school.

Some private schools won’t allow it.

Athletes do it to get onto campus early.

It’s really pretty easy if your child does well in school without much challenge. My son will be eligible to graduate early next year but we won’t allow it. Better to entire college the same time as your peers.

Yea, they have to enroll in college within a week or so of graduation anyway…and if you’re going to start day one…that spring could be huge for your success.

I don’t think my high school had that as an option.

There are a ton of different situations for athletes…but I think it’s a great bargaining chip when these schools end the season next year and want to make a move at certain positions.

Telling Bama or LSU you’d go through the spring competition would be huge…and you may effectively be able to earn a roster spot in those months.

Starting after the summer may just have to work.

If the student is planning on going to a traditional four-year college, I would say what's the point? The student should just enjoy his/her senior year

Being able to begin college with college credits and enter the work force earlier to start making a living.

Your kid going after that NIL $?

He could go to community or online college and then matriculate to University campus the same time as his peers. Or, heck, get a job, internship or travel abroad with the 8 months off.

Look into early college at your HS. College credits for free while in HS.
