I'm going to be controversial and say this has a marginal impact on educational outcomes. Probably skewed towards better as I'm assuming they've done their homework.
Look, kids who love math and nerd out in their spare time will still be tearing into calc in uni.
Those who don't will still pick up enough to hit the trades or JOB.
The kids who don't need advanced maths might actually get more out of what they do learn as it's delivered at a higher age.
Ok who knows maybe it has marginally lower outcomes over all. No one knows and the people in this thread decrying the end of exceptionalism are deluding themselves into thinking life outcomes are extremely sensitive to high school educational content. I don't think that's verifiable.
Getting people to school and keeping them from dropping out is likely a better first order optimization to overall outcomes. Kids are still going to get their calcs in uni and the universities will still be pumping out overly-educated overly-indebted young adults...
