High School Diploma Not Required?

I know you’re getting tired of explaining this, but do I understand correctly? Your son met the state’s requirements, but because some of those requirements were met outside your son’s gifted school, they won’t consider them for graduation purposes? Or is it that he missed one of the school’s requirements that’s in excess of what the state requires.

We’ve had some problems with our S’s school, but I admit I don’t think either of those things are possible there. Their requirements are essentially what the state requires only much more advanced and more weighted to math and science. They’re used to giving students credit for courses they took in high school, or at least I think they are. These kids were ahead of everyone else; that’s what the school was for in the first place.
