Associates degree in hs?

hello!
I was wondering if there are benefits to graduating hs with my associate’s degree from a small public university?
also, I am curious as to if colleges will take any years off for having this degree (64 college credits) and what colleges those would be!
thank you in advance!

there is not a set answer really -

from my perspective as a parent who has a daughter who earned 62 credits in high school- taking the last two years of classes at a college campus where she could take anything in the college catalogue for the most part.

some things to consider - she had the number of credits but did not earn an associates. She technically needed 4 classes - she could have taken them but opted to take classes that were more interesting to her. Right from the start the plan was to take

  1. anything needed for high school graduation from her high school
    2 anything typically needed for many colleges (not necessarily ivy league) that are above high school graduation requirements
    3 classes of interest (esp since that is why she switched
    4 for her field she saw no true advantage of getting an associates since she was continuing on for her bachelor’s and found it more helpful to take a class to try out a field instead (which she ended up double majoring in)

As to taking off time - if you go from a community college many have agreements with state colleges so it most likely saves time.
If you go to a different school it may or may not save time - the college you matriculate at will decide what they accept and not only what they accept but how it is applied. You may say get credit, no credit at all, get credit but only used to give you ability to start in a higher level not reduce time, or get free elective credit that may never be needed.

In my daughter’s case she is graduating in 3 years from a private school. the credits helped her say register for classes earlier than if she started as a beginning freshman. I think if the goal was to cut out 2 years it would have been harder to do so but that was never her goal. She also didn’t take any classes that are normally considered junior/senior level as a high school student. She did have a few but not many general ed to take since general ed varies from school to school. It worked out well and gave her a chance to meet more people outside of her major she became good friends with.
