Skipping a Few Years in Math

Thanks for replying everyone.
In my school, Trig and Algebra 2 are one class. And pre-calc is the one that people usually skip. Every other day I audit a trig/algebra 2 class, so by summer I’d already have half the course work done. Also, I am in Pre-AP Chem now, and I don’t need higher math for AP. As for AP Physics, the teachers all said that I won’t need any more than Trig.
So as far as the sciences go I’ll be fine, but skipping the two years in math no doubt is a little crazy, but given a great deal amount of time, commitment and help from teacher, don’t you think that it is possible?

Hypothetically :
I learn all the Trig/alg 2 material by the end of this year. (since I sit in the class, I could just take the work home every other day)
During the summer I learn the Pre-Calc stuff
Go into AP Calc BC in the fall.

I think it is atleast worth a try…
Thanks eveyone, keep sharing your opinions, I really appreciate it.
