Many states already have similar programs, but you don’t graduate early, you actually graduate and get your AA at the same time. College courses count for both high school and college credit. I think the school board covers the tuition of the student (which is A LOT cheaper than what it costs to keep a kid in regular HS for a year.)

Correct...I’ve a granddaughter that will graduate HS this June and will also have an AA from a community college. She was home schooled thru grammar school and then entered a home link program for middle school and first two years of HS. She had classes in HS and CC in her junior year and all classes are in CC for her senior year. It’s a good program.
That said, it’s not easy. She is a good student and a hard worker, the program wouldn’t be for everyone.
