Public schools generally do offer “Running Start” and similar options to allow dual enrollment in HS & college/community college so you can get credit for both. I agree that 9 courses sounds unreasonable. I would say make an appointment NOW to see the counselor at new school at the earliest possible moment, with or without your folks. You need to figure out how to work with them so you can graduate while having a managable courseload, considering any programs available that will help you do that.

There are truly many paths that work and will help you but you will likely have to be the “squeaky wheel” or will just be given roadblocks. You might call the community college and or public U near you & ask them if they have any agreements with new HS as well. Best to ask now so you have as thorough as possible an understanding BEFORE school starts as changes are MUCH easier to make now than once the school year gets underway & there are many other students competing for attention & changes.
