<p>I’m still going to recommend your local cc. My boys use them as high school credits even though they are legitimate college level classes. That’s what duel enrollment is. Some students choose to use the credits as college credits, some choose to use them as high school. You’d have the option either way once you see how you do and where you want to go afterward. By having legitimate grades (either high school or college) you’d have a decent transcript to apply to “wherever.”</p>
<p>Don’t enroll full time as some schools don’t like to see that and still consider you a freshman (and right now I’d keep all options open). Take two or three classes if you can (check with the financial aid office) and do the rest at home.</p>
<p>Public school (around me) is not worth it and ours would never get you to a top school. Our top kids often place into remedial classes when they go to 4 year schools. That’s WHY we opted to homeschool our boys. If the public school around you IS decent (not “word of mouth” decent, but “getting kids into places well-prepared” decent then it might be an option.</p>
