However, I think can recommend in good faith that you try to finish up high school as quickly as possible. See your counselor and find out what it'll take to finish up in three years -- or even two -- and then try to do it. Remember, high school, particularly in California, is not so much aimed at bright kids as at slow kids. And I won't say anything about the teachers, some of whom no doubt would benefit taking a class from you! So why stay there? Your wasting your time and you're being held back.
It's often been noted that a reasonably bright, motivated freshman can learn more in one or two semesters at a good university than he learned in 12 years of school prior to getting to university. And the subjects you'll study at the college level are SOOOO much more interesting and fun. So go for it, and you might even easily beat Tom McClintock's record! Good luck. :-)
Ugh, I would definitely disagree with this. School is not about cramming as much into your head as quickly as possible. It's largely about maturing as well, and I have never in my life known a 16-year-old that was ready for full-time college.
What's the big hurry? If one has such a burning desire to get involved in college-level courses, and high-school level courses are just so much tripe, one shouldn't have any trouble enrolling in a college class while in high school and keeping up. But ultimately, I guess I just don't get what the big hurry is. College will still be there, trudging through an uninteresting year or so of high school will be good training for trudging through boring work, etc.
