Maybe it's for the best? To re-educate yourself in basic subjects. Why be in a hurry to graduate? Life sucks.

Yeah, I agree with Colonel. Life sucks dude and the longer you get to stay in high school, the better, unless your high school sucks haha

Yeah, I also agree with Connel. It also depends on your background education too. Every country/state has different expectations/ standards. If you really feel you are misplaced, try and speak with the counselor to see if you can take more challenging courses and or retake test. Either way see if you are placed correctly before doing anything.
