Reply to "Holy Re-Classing!"

Hmmm, interesting concept @TerribleBPthrower. Repeat grade 12 and continue with HS classes ineligible for a 5th year of sports (to my knowledge no states have awarded a 5th year of eligibility to high school students) vs graduate and take a few courses at the local JUCO?  Realistically if the HS offers enough AP classes you could accrue more credits (if the college you end up accepts them) by staying in HS. My high academic student left a few AP classes on the table that he would have enjoyed taking but there simply weren't enough periods in the HS day.  (that was with a few college "dual enrollment" classes to make room for the 14 AP classes he's already taken/enrolled for next year). Granted, a kid taking that many AP classes  likely won't end up at at a school that accepts all those APs...

Biggest downside, if you get hurt or finally acknowledge it's not going to happen you're stuck in HS an additional year.  At least with JUCO you could pivot at semester and move on with your life.
