[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I started just after turning 17 (July birthday).  Did very well and graduated at 20.  I had been in that grade cohort for most of my school years so it felt normal to me. [/quote]

This, OP.  Your DD will have been with her grade for four years by the time she graduates.  It’s not like she’s skipping Junior and Senior year.  Plus you said you lived abroad for a while - that can have a very maturing effect on children - travel, culture, language.  She isn’t a typical suburban kid.  She could easily be happy and thrive.

.this is very very specific. Lots of 3rd culture kids are raised basically on compounds and exposed to even less of the "real world" than in the burbs bc of the country they live a s work in as expats.

It's 2 full years early IMO. I have a late August bday and was one of the youngest in my peer group  starting on my 18th birthday. Plenty of kids are in school for more than just 4 years or take service years etc, she would be ,6 years younger than many seniors and even possible some juniors[/quote]
