<p>@Singersdad, in my area, dual enrollment isn’t a viable option. I don’t think the local branch of our state u would even accept high school students, since they have overstuffed classrooms as it is. The nearest community college, which might accept them, is a half hour away, and its academics are nothing to write home about. Our most ambitious high school students have a full plate of AP’s junior and senior year plus significant EC’s that consume a lot of time. I don’t see how they could fit college classes into their schedules even if they wanted to. I suppose some very high achiever could exhaust all our AP offerings before senior year, but anyone that capable would find the level of instruction and discourse at our cc to be disappointing.</p>
