Another approach: GED diploma
My D was faced with the prospect of transferring from her elite competitive private HS to the local public HS for her senior year. With our encouragement, she opted to study for & take the GED exam, which she passed & was allowed to start the local community college, which she did instead of having a senior year. She applied to transfer to the college she wanted to attend & was accepted & transferred there after 3 semesters of CC. She’s had one semester of her private U & is taking summer school at the local flagship U to meet more of her private U requirements. It has worked well for her & saved us some money.

She didn’t want to deal with being a senior in a new school & felt ready to take on CC; it worked out just fine for her.
