My kid is so bored in high school, and now that most colleges are online, I figure she could go to college for a year online, possibly starting in January (why not?).

My kid is too young to leave home, but her brain is ready for college. She went to CTY summer camp for three summers and was extremely happy taking college level classes there.
She's so miserable with online high school classes, which are mostly busy work, no substance.

She took community college classes this summer when her job was cancelled, but the classes were too easy for her.

Is this a crazy idea? What colleges might we look at? She took her SATs in 8th grade and did well enough to get into a top-tier college.

So online AP chemistry, AP bio, AP physics, DE multivar calc, DE matrix Algebra, APUSH, etc. are all busy work with no substance through her high school or has she already taken all of those?

Do your research before making grand plans, OP, and devise a strategy to maximize college entrance success. Is your child taking the most challenging course load right now? It may be too late to switch courses, but she can try contacting her administrator. If she can switch to more AP classes, for example, perhaps she won't be so bored.

Where do you live (although it might not matter with everything online). Some colleges allow high school students to enroll. I looked at UMBC for my son.

What classes did your daughter take at community college that were so easy?

Not OP, but my local cc is a joke. The highest math it offers is precalc. Many classes give “group tests.”
