<p>I’d be interested in the % of HS students participating in the Running Start type programs mentioned.>></p>
<p>We moved after oldest DD’s junior year, so she did Running Start her senior year. However, she didn’t care about the “high school experience” and is very self-motivated. She played two sports, but didn’t do any other ec’s because of timing issues. Very few (I can think of only two her year) did RS full time because they wanted to be high school kids. You had to have the counselor’s approval before doing the program and they emphasized to the parents how it does not work well if the kid a) doesn’t want to do it b) isn’t the type to do things without prodding and reminders. It was also a pain to do her senior project since she wasn’t in school when they reviewed proposals, etc. She had to make special appointments to do those things.</p>
<p>My middle DD had zero interest; she was much more social than her sister and wanted to be a high school kid.</p>
