Should I Graduate Early?

Hi,
So I am currently a freshman (in high school, clearly). My schedule right now is not particularly rigorous, but I am dual enrolling in 2 college courses this semester and am planning on 3 next semester. I am self-studying for AP Biology, AP Chemistry, and APUSH this year so that I can take advance bio/chem college courses next year. With the way my high school counts credit, I will be able to graduate by the middle of my junior year.
Does anyone have any idea how doing that will affect my ability to get into colleges, etc.? I would like to graduate early but I don’t want to destroy my chances of getting into a good college.
Oh, and I know it is highly recommended not to self-study for AP Chem, but it is one of my strongest subjects and I might want to go into chemistry. Last year, I wanted to take AP Chemistry freshman year but needed to get at least a 75% on the honors chem 11th grade final (without ever having taken chem before) and the moron that I am decided to wait until three days before the test to even pick up a chemistry book (yes, I know, I’m an idiot).
Does anyone have any recommendations if I go ahead with graduating early?
