Our high school offered a three year graduation option. I’m surprised more kids didn’t take it...

That option would have saved me from dropping out. I got decent grades in most of my classes and even great grades in others. I was just thoroughly bored with school and dropped out to work at the start of my senior year.

The junior college in our town offered a college level American Literature and Rhetoric course to high school kids who passed a very easy entry test. These classes all transfered to U of Iowa. I found out later that Iowa used the Rhetoric class to flunk out about 35 percent of the incoming freshmen.
