Is early graduation the best? will it help me in the future, or will i later regret my decision of not staying in school more?
No one is you so no one can say if you’ll be happy with it or regret it later.
Why are you rushing? What is the reason? Will you be ready for your post high school step - whatever it is - school or work?
In general, I don’t think it’s a good idea but it’s my opinion. Yours may be different and it’s not for me to tell you that you are wrong.
Good luck.

What is the reason for graduating early? It’s likely better to stay in high school and take upper level or duel enrollment courses, in my opinion.
Will it help you in the future? Probably not.

Dual enrolmment means you’re still a HS student (thus entitlesnto apply as a freshman meaning all the best scholarships, while getting advanced placement!) and get to take college classes for free, exploring new subjects or taking more advanced classes in subjects you’re interested in.
Dual enrollment, not early graduation, is the best.

In general the extra year in HS is a good idea. It gives additional time for rigorous coursework, meaningful involvement in activities, as well as personal growth and maturity.
Life is a marathon, not a sprint.

Hard to say.
My personal preference is whatever saves the most money.
Often, dual credit is discounted while you’re still in HS, but it may not be accepted at the college you want to attend.
Staying in HS and taking upper level or DE courses could potentially strengthen a student’s application, and thus make them a better candidate for things like merit aid.
