Answer 1

Goodness, school has changed a lot- and you need to consider ALL of your alternatives here, many of which you didn't mention.  :-)

First of all, talk to your school counselor. There are many options today for taking credits through an online school or a correspondence school. You didn't say which state you are in, but I know of several states that run an online high school. And, many colleges now offer classes for high school credits. Your counselor should know which programs your school will accept credits from, and could point you to a giant list to choose from.

I think doing classes after school through an online high school or correspondence school is the perfect solution. It allows you to take the bus home as usual, and still get the extra credits you need. And, you might even have more choices that your home school might be offering. My son just did this to graduate on time- he had one correspondence class through a local college, and one through the state's online high school. It helped him make up time he had lost from an illness.  

Answer 2

take your last class in the summer after you get your car.
