WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF GRADUATING FROM HIGH SCHOOL EARLY?

Question

I am a freshmen in high school but i want to graduate early. i get straight A`S and i think i can do it. But will it affect my future?

Answer 1

You're not going to be able to. Plain and simple.

It doesn't matter how good your grades are, you simply can't. The only way that you could is by being very advanced. You would have to basically skip one whole grade.

You might have enough credits to, but you won't get into college. You have to be a genius to graduate early. Tons of kids get straight A's and they're not genius'.

I was actually thinking about graduating early, because my senior year I basically go to the university for most of my classes, but it wouldn't be worth it.

Simply put, you can't.

Good luck in school.

Answer 2

just weigh the benefits. i know some people who regret it because they felt they grew up to fast. they didn't get to enjoy high school as much as others and its only one extra year. just do the best you can in school right now, you still have a couple years to think about it.

EDIT: haha HELLO Dogb, a lot of people graduate early. i guess it depends on what state you live in but theres a lot of programs where you can start taking colleges courses at a community college or something and get hs credit for it. usually the college credits help complete hs requirements faster plus you are getting college credit so why wouldn't someone be able to get into college? that seems counter intuitive, usually college classes are harder than hs classes, so colleges will see that & idk why those students wouldnt have an advantage over students who just took hs classes. but usually people dont graduate early by doing this, they just graduate on time but they work towards their associates degree so they will transfer with that. it is not really graduating early, but getting ahead. however you could still graduate early by doing this too without having to be a genius.

go to see your counselor to learn what options you have.
