Maybe it's different in New Jersey, but taking a couple of classes at a local community college is nothing like "attending college".  I would bet most of those kids will take online courses and never leave their parents house or the college courses will be offered on the HS campus.

Here the lines are pretty blurred, our high school has a whole section of courses offered in conjunction with the local community college where kids take college courses on the HS campus and get duel credit for both HS and college while still in HS.

NJ has the same arrangement with respects to HS students taking college course and receiving dual credits.

Upon thinking more about @francis7 post, one can look at this many ways.

E.G. Player graduated in 2019, due to cancellation of 2019 spring season,  no musical chair available.

With the uncertainty of COVID-19, he decided to stay local until 2021 - 2022.   The local community college is loaded (most players are staying, because they didn't get offers at 4yr schools).

So, family doesn't want to stop the academics, but the player still wants to play.  If he sits out another year of competitive Baseball and have to wait until summer 2021 to get on the diamond, he will be even further behind.

So play 5th year of HS.   IMHO, is this any different than a player doing an extra year at a Prep school in order to work on his grades?

This happens more than we think.
