AnswerYes, but you would need a signature from someone who is responsible for you and allows you to do it (a parent could sign if you're considered home schooled, otherwise you'd need a principle signature). Unless you're an emancipated minor, then you'd be considered as any other student. You may also have to take placement tests so that you won't be forced to take lower-level classes that you already know the material for, or you can give a transcript.

Go to the main office of the community college you'd be considering, people working there would be more than happy to give you the forms and information you need. High school principles are very much against the idea of students attending community college, unless you'd be attending some kind of private or special needs high school. I also don't recommend you inform your instructors (at the college) of your age because they may stereotype you and that could cost you a passing grade.

Also, one semester (even the summer semester) in community college is translated to one year of high school. So if you take the appropriate classes, you could graduate in two years.

Yes, but one of the main reasons students are told not to do that is because they would not be eligible for Pell Grants and Financial Aid until they have a high school diploma. THIS INFORMATION IS INCORRECT. There is a special provision that you can hold the "equivalent of" a high school diploma and that if you can prove that, then you can receive the financial aid (and just answer YES on the FAFSA). There is a list of tests that will satisfy that requirement, including the ACCUPLACER test. If you do well on the ACCUPLACER you can use that in place of a formal "high school" diploma. Now, most financial aid people will tell you this is not possible. The will be wrong. You will have to tell them to look in the regulation books under eligibility and they will find this information there. If they can't find it, you can call FAFSA and they will be able to tell you the exact page it's on.
