<p>I can’t answer the “why” aspects of what someone in my community did. I didn’t ask. Yes, she was PG. She graduated from our HS. The following year she did a PG year at Andover and applied to college. I know she is a great student. Her mom is even a teacher at our HS. As I wrote, maybe they thought she’d benefit from an extra year as she was young (entered K early as did my D2). She went from a rural public HS to an elite boarding school for a year. It is not so far fetched in such a circumstance. </p>
<p>A long time ago, my sister-in-law, who is much younger than I, graduated HS two years early (around her 16th birthday). Her parents (my in-laws) considered sending her to boarding school (such as Exeter or Andover) at that point before college. Instead, they sent her to college. She went to Williams but had gotten into the Ivies. But that is another example of someone younger who might finish HS and do PG at a boarding school. </p>
<p>My own daughter graduated two chronological years early than she normally would have. She entered K early and then graduated HS after junior year. We did not consider boarding school and she went straight to college at age 16.</p>
