Okay -I’m giving an entirely different perspective on this. My daughter is doing something similar but different.
She’s taking a few classes at the community college and a few classes through the High School school district.
She LOVES this and is very happy with this choice. The CC classes are allowing her to take classes not offered at her High School. It is also letting her accelerate her math, and take a few additional science classes (versus if she was at the high school). The other half of her schedule is through the district, and that is allowing her to participate in a unique program.
Outcomes for her:
More independence and an introduction to college classes
More ability to do unique and interesting things with her high school experience
She still hangs out with friends from HS and attends events
TWO caveats:
- Her volunteer and leadership work is external to school -but it always has been
- She has no plans to graduate college early. These classes - IF they transfer -will help fill some entry level science and math courses. If they don’t transfer -she’ll have a leg up on the some of the material for her intro science classes
