Re: Pre-college or high school aged?

I know that lots of homeschooled kids take college classes before 17/18 years old so it's not surprising to me. This year, depending on who joins our team, we might have one or two members doing that.

And our local public high school has agreements with colleges for high school student dual enrollment. On our old team (we split off), we had a junior who was in the public high school and taking a class at the local state college. So that was never an issue in my mind. It's the student who is completely done and gone from high school that I'm wondering about.

Of all the FIRST members who can take college classes (dual enrollment agreements, close enough to one, etc.), I wonder what percentage takes advantage of that? And, is it higher than the percentage of the general high school population?

Thanks for all the input everyone!
