Im a freshman in high school and i aam trying to go the concurrent enrollment route this coming summer. My current courses are:
Jazz Band Big History Manderin 1 Algebra 2 English 1 AP Biology PE
Now I am wondering what math at my local community college should i take so i can skip pre-calculus and go straight to AP Calc AB and skip English 2 and go straight to AP English and Literature. They already offer AP World History for sophomores so I Dont have to worry about getting into a higher history class because if i dont get in i can just talk to the administration and they will let me in the class. I am also going to skip chemistry and take AP chemistry hopefully. This what I hope next years schedule to look like:
Jazz Band AP World History Manderin 2 AP Calc AB AP English and Literature AP Chemistry PE

What's the point of finishing high school early? You're gonna go to college and to be honest, you'll be at a disadvantage. You won't be 21 by the time you graduate, or you'll be very, very late.
I admire the ambition, and go for it if you want, but college will be more fun and valuable to your personal growth if you're closer to the same age as everyone. Then again if you do really well on calc, and you're major requires it, you might be able to skip it. I hate math, so I wouldn't bother, but your choice.

Your life about the journey, not about the destination. Don't rush it.
You only get one shot at high school so make the best of it. Don't spend all your time studying, because from what you're saying, its gonna be a lot more work and a lot more homework, meaning a lot less free time. School should not be your life, and if it is, that's pretty boring. Instead, hang out with people more and try some new hobbies, experiment with life. You are younngg, take advantage of it and do stuff, don't try to finish school fast so you can grow up faster.
School is more about socializing than anything else. You make friends, make connections, make memories and it should be a great experience. It shouldn't be something that you should be looking to finish a year early.
