I would do this first.
Creat mini wish list of colleges. If these colleges are public, they will have public transfer databases. See what classes transfer between a potential school and the college/school where your kid will take classes in HS.
My DD took in local CC Multivariable Calculus, Linear Algebra in HS. All transfered to GaTech (but GaTech was a target school and I checked all options ahead of time.) She was engineering major and never took any math at Gatech (she completed all math requirements in HS.)
We even went a step further…We focused on DE in senior year and decided not to enroll in some magnet school classes… School was furious but it saved us a lot of money in the longs run since she was OOS student eventually.
Word of caution. This board is not friendly to DE :).
Many private schools do not like DE, since that means student can potentially graduate earlier and less tuition for them. So they tend not to transfer credits.
Also some privates may treat a kid with DE classes as a “transfer” if there are a lot of DE credits and not to provide scholarships.
If you do DE just to beef up “resume”, any school will love DE credits. If you need it to save money (our case), then use “our” approach.
