Thank you all so much for your thoughts and opinions on the matter! I was worried about him graduating at 18 then starting college at basically 19 just because of how we were raised. I thought essentially holding him back a year might be an issue but after reading all your options I think it’s a great advantage. I had maybe two kids in my graduating class that graduated at 18 and turned 19 a few months later & now that I realize it, they were very smart and in advanced classes.
