<p>We moved after my sophomore year in HS and I was given the opportunity to finish in 1 year at my new school. My grades were good, so I went for it. This was 30 years ago, and in hindsight I can tell you it was not worth it. I went to college not quite ready socially, and ended up taking 2 years off between college and graduate (medical) school as I was emotionally exhausted, so it didn’t actually save me any time. College was a much difficult experience than it should have been. </p>
<p>My older child is now a freshman in college, and I discouraged him and his younger sister (sophomore in HS) from completing HS early. Although HS academics was somewhat of a waste for him also, the extra year gave him time to mature. He is now at a top music conservatory and doing amazingly well; independant and successful. I don’t think he would have done nearly as well had he gone a year earlier.</p>
